Super Sisters

Both of my girls have been SUPER lately.

In different ways,

but super none the less.

Piper had an appointment at the dentist,

for her first official checkup.

She's been to the dentist before,

but only for quick counts of the teeth 

and to get her a little familiar and comfortable with the clinic.

She was always a little timid in the past,

but not this year.

She really proved to us just how much she has matured.

When the dentist came to see us in the waiting room,

she sat down in the same chair that Piper and Elliotte were playing near.

Both girls were excited to talk to her

and very VERY curious. 

Dr. Geri asked Piper if she would like to go with her,

so that she could check her teeth. 

Piper happily agreed and trotted off hand in hand with her dentist,

barely glancing over her shoulder to day goodbye.

That's when little Elliotte started to howl.

Heartbroken tears rolled down her cheeks

as she stood in the middle of the waiting room

watching her sister walk away.

Dr. Geri quickly turned around and invited Elliotte to go too.

Once again the little sister managed to get herself invited 

to one of Piper's big girl events

by using big tears and loud sobs. 

She's a pro!

The rest of the staff and other waiting patients

thought it was adorable.

I thought... yep, she tries to cry to get her own way at home too,

but this mom has a tougher shell to crack!

Both girls did great for the check up.

By the time the dentist came back to find me,

Piper had had X-rays, a full check up and a flouride treatment.

Easy peasy!

Elliotte was also SUPER recently!!

She has fallen in love with the Paw Patrol.

Move over Dora and the Bubble Guppies!

Elliotte now loves the famous team of rescue pups!

So when I saw someone selling a second hand costume

for one of the pups,

I couldn't resist.

My plan was to hide it from Elliotte until Halloween,

to be sure it stayed in great shape until then,

but the sneaky little thing found it and 

insisted that she try it on!

That was it.

She spent the rest of the day wearing the costume

that is miles too big for her.

It was quite a challenge to get her to take it off to eat her supper

making me dread trying to convince her to trade it for her pajamas at bedtime.

She keeps running around saying,

"I Syke, Mommy!"

"Wook me. I Skye!"

She's SO proud of being Skye!

This mommy defiantly won some point with that purchase!

Best patient ever!!

There's Skye taking her baby and Dora for a ride in the wagon.

Who knew Skye would be reading stories to Dora and Baby?
