This morning was full of a lot of trouble making. A part of my job is to keep up the house hold chores, and today i decided to vacuum! I had made the girls breakfast and put on one of their favorite cartoons so they would be occupied as i vacuumed all the rooms.
(side note)
They are just now starting to wear "big girl panties" on a daily basis, and so that means that are almost but not yet FULLY potty trained. They can go most days without wetting their pants BUT sometimes it happens, specifically Ellie. Poor little Ellie she's always so innocent about it too, once i found her right in front of the toilet standing in a puddle of her own pee. Another time she called for me and showed me by stomping in her bare feet a puddle in the carpet of her pee. (both times are AFTER I ask her if she has to go pee and both times she has said "no, not yet"). I have really been working on either asking her every since hour if she has to go, or just putting her on the toilet every hour.
Before I started vacuuming i specifically asked the girls "Do you have to go potty?" they both said "No" and like usual I ask "Are you sure?" and they both said "Yes" So i went about my business. About a minute or two later i hear a little voice calling "LEAH!!!!" and little footsteps
coming towards me, in comes Sidney. "Sissy (their nick-name for each other) went pee-pee" she said multiple times. I automatically believed her and yelled out "ELLIE GRACE!!!". I walk into the kitchen to see Ellie sitting here innocently eating her breakfast and dry as a bone. She looked up and said "What Leah, whats wrong?", and I look over at Sidney and she's laughing! Where in the world do little kids learn to do stuff like that?!?
Sidney just has a way of pushing some buttons, and Ellie is one of the most innocent/sensitive little girls I know. About an hour after the potty display we start to head downstairs. I stopped about half way to wait for Ellie (Sidney was right next to me) "You can't come down here with us Sissy" Sidney says. Ellie then takes that literally, stops taking steps to come downstairs and starts crying..."Why are you crying, Elle-Belle?" I asked and in a sad little voice and tears running down her face she says "Sidney said I can't come downstairs!!!" I then said "Well I said you could..." "But SISSY said i couldn't..." she said back. Before I could say anything back Sidney says in a kind and sweet voice as if she wasn't the one who made this whole situation happen, "You can come down and play with us sissy, that's OK!" I just looked at Sidney and couldn't help at laugh what I had just witnessed! The rest of the day was full of little episodes like these where Sidney would try and get Ellie in trouble or try and discipline Ellie herself. I actually walked in on Sidney yelling "ELLIE GRACE YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!"
I must say though, it was a good day! Ellie discovered that she wants to be a photographer "when she gets bigger"! "Hoooold still...say CHEESE PLEASE"...."Cheese"...."NO say cheese PLEASE!".."Cheese please!!"..."THERE, I got it!!" (This exact scenario happened at least twenty times today!
