"Lucy and I are playing queens," Ellie announced, bright and early on Saturday morning (note the tiny paint brush scepter in Ellie's hand) .
Oh! I answered. What will you do now that you're queens?
"Just, you know, rule," said Ellie.
A few hours later, the little queen pictured above awoke from a too short nap, positvely furious and inconsolable (don't be fooled by her angelic looks and the heavenly sunlight pouring down on her). This little queen can show quite a little tempter.
Ellie's response: "She's just a big piece of work!"
You have to give Ellie credit for trying. She really is so good with Harry and Lucy. She has an endless amount of patience (way more than I) and is so creative and constantly thinking of ways to amuse and distract the babies when they're out of sorts.
For example, when neither lunch nor milk would cheer Lucy up after her little post-nap tantrum, Ellie dug deep, knowing I'd promised we'd go outside to play and swim in the baby pool after lunch: "Hey Lucy,"said Ellie, "Want to go be ladies in the pool?"
Eventually, Lucy came around.
And later, there was the requisite post-swimming, group ice cream meeting.
I scored a great find at a garage sale this weekend. Of course as I was buying it ($5!) I thought to myself, Lucy and Harry are totally going to fight over this. I even said as much to the woman I bought it from who, coincidentally also had twins (and two older ones-yikes, what a nut!). She just smiled and waved me on.
You know what I think I love most about Harry and Lucy? How well they share.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes, that's Lucy falling backwards, feet first. Turns out Harry is toughening up a bit lately and working on his offense. He's apparently especially territorially when it comes to anything vehicle oriented.
That's better. Enjoying the new boat in PEACE.
