Good girls

My girls are incredibly fun to hang out with. Today we got out of the house to give Daddy some downtime. We were fortunate enough to meet some friends to play with at Edinborough and go out for lunch. Tonight the girls and I donned our snow gear for a sled ride and making snow angels before dinner.

The next day Sam was very excited when it worked out that Nicki, Naamah and Kian joined us. She screamed, "Yay!" when I told her they were able to meet us. At the playground she accidentally ran over another girl's toe so I told her that she had to apologize to the girl, who was now screaming in pain and crying in her dad's arms. Sam asked me to come with when I offered, so off we went. Sam said that she was sorry to the girl. The dad said thank you, the girl stopped crying and about 10 minutes later both girls were running around playing happily together.

Sofia loved playing with everyone and on her own for a time. Her climbing skills are advanced, but she is a little tentative about slides. I will cherish the memory of her grabbing my hand and saying, "C'mon Mom... C'mon", is hilarious. It's crazy how fast she's growing up and her vocabulary is increasing daily. Sofia definitely has her opinions and will express them with mixed results. As trying as "being 2" can be, it's also incredible to witness.

Pulling two kids in a sled is much harder than just one so I got a good workout! Sam created her own sled track, tried to pull Sofie and had fun just jumping in the snow. Sofie loved being on the sled tracks especially on her belly. She said, "Do that again!", to my faster turns which I took as a good sign.

I've missed my girls lately so today was a fantastic day for me! I love them and feel eternally grateful to be their mom.
