the big sister.

this girl doesn't get enough credit most days. today she was a rockstar. she listened all morning and was beyond helpful. when i asked for a diaper she ran and got one. when will spit up she promptly grabbed a blanket to wipe his mouth off. she probably acted beyond what most people expect from a four year old. most days i forget she is only four. being the oldest is hard. i feel for her at the end of the day. we have always expected more from her at each stage than we have from her brother and she has handled every new situation she has had thrown at her great. she transitioned to school great. she has started soccer and despite being the youngest and smallest she runs just as hard if not harder than the other kids. i need to give myself a constant daily reminder that she is only four and she should be able to act like a four year old. i also need to realize she is a girl and perhaps a bit more dramatic. ;)
