BEST FRIENDS

What did my girls ever do without each other? Sierra is constantly putting one arm around me and one arm around Madison and saying, "We all love each other. Madison, Mom, and Me." She can't ever get enough of loving on Madison. Often I will just put Madison down for a nap and a few minutes later I will hear her squeal. I will go back to check on her and Sierra will be in the crib with her arms around her. She will protest, "Mom, Madison needed me." At this point I want to strangle her but I know in my heart she just loves her sister and is really bored when she is asleep.

ISN'T THIS IMPRESSIVE? YOU GO GIRL!

My daughter loves to wear her mother's shoes. I am so impressed at the age of three how well she can walk in my heels. She is amazing. I have always felt empowered when I wear heels and I love them. I hope she continues to love wearing high heels. (Funny Note: These particular heels Nate doesn't like because they make me slightly taller than him. When I wear them he refers to me as amazon woman. Despite all his best efforts I won't give up wearing them. I am certain I will own a dozen or more pairs of three inch heels when we finally get done with dental school :) )

BEAUTIFUL MADISON

My beautiful little girl didn't want to go to sleep tonight she was just watching me. I kept telling her it would be a good idea to close her eyes but she didn't think so. Isn't she so beautiful? I love her.

WHITES ONLY, PLEASE?

Sierra is hilarioius. I have stopped eating cereal for breakfast because milk is something Madison can't tolerate, so I have been eating a lot of eggs and toast. Sierra asked to join me a few mornings ago. She ate the white part of the egg and gagged down the yellow part. The next time I made eggs she asked if she could just have the white part not the yellow. I usually don't give into special requests for food but this one is amusing to me so I have made her white only eggs for a few mornings now. Feels like a waste when I discard the yellow part, so if you have a suggestions for the use of just the yolk of an egg, post a comment.

WHO AM I?

I don't know why I am obsessed with the comparison game lately, maybe because I keep having deja vu. I feel like I have had Sierra's twin three years later. I know there are dissimilarities like Madison's head is a little more narrow and she only has one dimple instead of two like Sierra but still the resemblance is uncanny. Sierra is in the green. Madison is in the pink. She was holding her hands just like Sierra but moved when I clicked. Look at their chins! Identical.

CAN I SLEEP IN THE CRIB NOW?

I have nightmares about the endless nights I spent trying to get Sierra to sleep in her crib as a baby and as a toddler. By the time she could stand up she would launch herself over the side of the crib and get out. She hated it. Finally when she was eighteen months old we bought her a double bed, so she could roll and move around all she wanted. She was relieved to finally be out of the crib. Until now.... It seems the crib is far more exciting now that Madison sleeps in it. Last night I went to lay Madison down and this is what I saw. Madison ended up in Sierra's bed.
