Sophia-Gonna be 5 in 2 weeks. She is so loving and a true mamma's girl. Sophia will pick me over anyone. She has plans with her dad and so excited until she hears I'm staying home or going to somewhere else and she would rather tag along with me. She loves to hug and kiss us and say I love you. She tells me daily that she will never leave me. I'm holding her to it. Sophia has a big heart and can't stand when someone is mad at her. She gets her feelings hurt fast. If I get upset with her she cries and apologizes over and over again. She loves everyone especially her BFF Eslin. She asks to have her come over or if she can go over, on a daily basis. They couldn't be more different but love each other. Sophia is has the most beautiful smile and gorgeous hair. Its long, black and shiny. She doesn't really like to do much with her hair other than a pony tail. She's 60% tom boy and 40% girl. Sophia loves to be around people and asks all the time if I am going to have another jewelry party or have our friends come over. She is active and loves gymnastics. She is so good at it. She has private lessons with the best coach ever and I love to see how far she's come. Wednesday I went to watch her and she does sit-ups, chin ups, flips, beams, trampoline and swinging on the rope (big accomplishment for her, she as so scared in the beginning). Sophia loves the outdoors and asks to go outside or to the park all the time. Because she is so active, she does not like wearing jeans. She HATES them. I know hate is a strong word but I'm not playing when I say she hates them. She throws a tantrum and cries. She says they hurt (rolling my eyes). She would much rather be in leggings, shorts, sweat pants, anything but jeans. This little missy also has her mamma's attitude. I'm not one for nonsense :) so I get frustrated when we can't get from A to Z in 60 seconds. The other day on the way home from school we had this conversation:
Me: Sophia, how was school today?
Sophia: Good
Me: Was everyone at school today?
Sophia: Yes
Me: So Eslin was there? Ryder? Campbell? Molly....
Sophia: Mom, I already told you everyone was at school, you don't have to keep asking.
Um excuse me? She is a sweetheart but can be a stinker. I have many names for this girl and she loves everyone of them: Boo, honey, honey pie, boogie, cake, bubby. If I call Olivia by one of those names, Sophia gets upset. Time is flying by so soon. In May we have preschool graduation and I know I will cry my eyes out. This little made me a mommy and I can't imagine life without her infectious giggle. I love you Cake!!!
Olivia- Oh this girl! Olivia is my 2 year old stubborn/determined/headstrong child. As I type, she is screaming at the dog "Go sit with dad, now!" Olivia thinks the world is hers for the taking. If she doesn't like something she is going to scream at you until she gets it. This little munchkin is all bark and no bite. She gets upset quickly (mom) and if someone tries to take something she hits. The other day at the Dooseaum she elbowed a kid in the nose. Olivia gets time outs and spankings often. She loves to boss Sophia around and tries to boss mom and dad around. She likes to run with the big kid but always gets hurt. She is also accident prone. When she was born, she had acid reflux and couldn't breathe. She had milk coming out of her nose. We took her to the ER and we were so worried, turns out it was manageable. She hits her head always. Once while the big kids were jumping in the trampoline, O tried to jump too, fell and bit through her lip. Another trip to the ER and had the cut sealed with glue. We were having a play date at Elsin's house and Eslin was carrying a chair and hit Olivia in the head. Luckily she was fine but there was a lot of crying. She falls out of her bed, falls off of stools, trips over nothing and runs into walls. She sleeps wildly hence the falling out of bed. She loves to copy her big sister and tries to keep up with her. When other people can not understand her, she tells Sophia and Sophia will let them know what Olivia needs. She can quickly find out how to get something. Whatever it takes as long as she gets what she wants. If you look in a dictionary for the word stubborn surely Olivia's pic is there. If she doesn't want to do something, its not happening. In the morning we all say good morning to each other. Not Olivia, she has to warm up to it. She rolls out of bed and has a daddy face. The mad face. I ask her to give someone a hug and she says NO! She loves to make a mess and gets upset when you tell her to clean it up. Olivia can sometimes be loving but thats not her M-O. She loves mommy, daddy and Sophia but others are not initially welcome. She gives the daddy face and ignores you. After a while she comes around and will give you a hug and you consider yourself lucky. Doesn't happen to often :) This one scares me when teen years come around. I see lots of groundings in the future. Either way I can't live with out this one. She keeps us on our toes and is definitely all girl. She lets me dress her, paint her nails, loves cute shoes. Hopefully we have lots of shopping trips and spa days. My little O, I love you so much and hope you use your determination for good.
