On Monday we went to Bartlesville and while we were there we went out to the mall with Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Jenny. I only had our little umbrella stroller in the van and since my kids seem to always be fighting over the strollers lately - who gets to ride, who gets to push, etc., the girls started fighting over who got to ride. So we stuck Grace in the stroller and put Sabrina on her lap and told her to hold on tight. I was a little worried that Grace would shove Sabrina off, but thankfully she didn't. However the cuteness didn't last long and they pretty much whined and fought over the stroller the whole time we were in the mall. Next time they can walk.
The little doll stroller that we got the girls for Christmas has been a constant source of contention at our house. The ONLY times when it is out and there isn't fighting are when one of the girls is riding in it and the other is pushing. You would think we would wise up and buy another stroller, but we haven't.
Notice that Grace is "helping" me get the picture by holding Sabrina's head still.
Grace has become quite the little "mother" lately. She keeps me laughing with all of her stern reprimands and attempts at soothing upset siblings. She is often heard saying "It's ok, it's ok baby, don't cry. Shh! Shh!" while giving Sabrina hugs and patting her back. Today Sabrina kept changing the channel on the TV and Grace finally yelled "Stop that, baby, TIME OUT!" while pointing to their room. Who knew little girls could be so bossy?!? (If you know me, you know that that last part is said with extreme sarcasm since I am the oldest of 7 children and if you ask my siblings they would tell you that I invented bossy.)
