So You Think You Can Parent!

Quote of the Day: "Mommy, I have so much love in me it's coming out of my nose!"
- Georgia Banner

I think we had a bit of false confidence once we knew Ramona was going to St. Louis with her grandparents. Two kids, no problem! It's been a study in monkey see, monkey do without big sis at home to mediate and model maturity. If Georgia does a somersault, Sylvia does a somersault. If Georgia puts flour in her hair, Sylvia puts flour in her hair. If Georgia wants the big floatie, Sylvia wants the big flotaie. I think you see the pattern here.

This time as two little sisters, has also given the girls time to bond and Georgia the opportunity to be a little leader. Last night we went to a after-work get together and the girls both acted shy at first. They held onto each others hands and walked around the back yard in their own sister world. It was very sweet and something that we haven't seen much of yet. Georgia stepped up as Sylvia's protector and served well in the role. We left with no bumps or bruises and no tears.

Here's a glimpse of this week's activities:
