just us

I think I've always taken a bit of personal pride in the fact that my kids seemed to get along so well.  Sadie and Hannah were best of buddies even when Hannah was too little to do much of anything they were completely devoted and have pretty much gotten along great.  Talia came along it was still pretty golden. What could be better than to always have a friend to play with. I know there are many factors and yes my kids are still young.  But, I just had to laugh the other day when this happened apparently three is a crowd.  Talia is starting to stand her ground and Hannah does not approve at the moment, and Sadie trying to refferee the situation.  I have found myself 'training' Sadie to give in to Hannah at times, it wasn't always conscious but the phrase "Sadie your 5, shes 2 just let her have the pink plate" or whatever has happened many times.  Now Sadie is pretty good at giving in to the 2 year old, or just learning new ways to manipulate the younger one. But, now I guess I need to tell Hannah you're 2 shes 1 give her what she wants... Good times.  Right now I would say Sadie is the peacemaker, teaching everyone to share, take turns is sensitive to her own feelings and others.  Hannah is the middle child, feisty, fearless and will not go unnoticed.  Talia is probably just trying to find her place, pretty easy going, will be content to chill or pick up the unwanted toys often, but she might be ready to take a stand against Hannah.

Love watching these girls grow up together and sometimes it happens I just can't help but compare them to my 2 sisters we were all right in a row like these 3. 

Ok and a few more pics just for fun.
