Wake Up Stories

Piper loves it when she is awake before Elliotte.

That's because it means that she gets to go and see Elliotte while she's sleeping.

If we're lucky,

Elliotte stays sleeping for a little longer after Piper's 'visit'.

A couple of mornings ago,

I accidentally left my bedroom door open.

(That's where Elliotte sleeps.)

I was making Piper's breakfast,

thinking that she was playing quietly in the front room.

When I went to get her,

she wasn't there.

(Please don't judge me!)

I check her bedroom.

No Piper.

That's when I noticed that my bedroom door was open.

This is what I found:

Elliotte happily enjoying her big sister reading stories to her!

Piper decided to choose titles from Mommy's library rather than her own.
Though I think Elliotte would prefer 'Where is Baby's Bellybutton",
she's not complaining!

Piper's vocabulary has always been spectacular, but it's not exactly on par with an adult just yet. I'm always amused when she stops and thinks about how to word what it is that she wants to say. Last night at supper was a great example. She was eating a plate of bbq ribs and rice, but knew there was a donut waiting for her for dessert. She was more than aware that if she didn't eat a decent supper, there would be no dessert, but she was very anxious to get her paws on that donut. After eating a respectable amount, she looked at me and said, "I'm all done Mommy". I asked her if she was full and she said yes. I then asked, "if you are too full to eat anymore supper, does that mean that you're too full to eat dessert?" After a few moments of serious thinking she replied, "Mommy, I'm too full to swallow anymore rice. But I can swallow a donut!" Ha. Smart kid!
