A Sophisticated Kid and a Sisterly Bond







I like lattes, well...coffee. We all know this. I stop by coffee stands every so often (more often than not). When I stop by Starbucks I occasionally allow Jordyn to have a child-size hot chocolate. Earlier in the week I did just this. As I looked in my rear-view mirror I see my almost three-year-old sipping away on this miniature cup. There's just so much sophistication that comes with a mini-mommy cup in her hand. It transformed her into a big girl in a little girl's body. SCARY! Either way, it left me to wonder if by starting this habit, and others, we may be raising a little girl who will grow to expect a lot of things like this. Who knows what else!?!? I'm just kidding...I think. I guess, don't be surprised if she's toting a laptop and cell phone soon. HAHAHA.....kidding again! While she was sipping on this transforming cup, she was reading Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you Hear? Apparently the peacock says, "BROCKA BROCKA." I wasn't quite sure why, but she told me that's what they say. By hearing her read this to me I realized that she, in fact, is still a little girl . For how much longer? Will I look in the backseat next week just to truly see a young lady? I hope time goes by slow enough to savor the sweet moments--like these. BROCKA BROCKA!!!

Jordyn and Kennedy love each other soooo much. It is the SWEETEST thing I've ever seen. Jordyn's eyes light up when she sees Kennedy. The second Kennedy wakes up from a nap Jordyn races to her room to greet her. If she doesn't know that Kennedy's gone down for a nap, she asks me--with a lot of concern--where her "sweetheart" is. It is sooo cute. They are playing more together now, too. Kennedy worms down the hall and all over the house behind Jordyn. In the car Kennedy tries very hard to see Jordyn over the seat. She grins and giggles at her for the duration of the trip. Everyone told me how sweet it would be to watch them grow up and play together. They are sooooo right!!!! This is just the beginning. Awww...sweet girls.
