Training Wheels

Andrew and Emily are the very best friends, I love how much they love each other.  Andrew is such a sweet natured boy and he really makes the best big brother.  

Just today, Emily couldn't decide what she wanted for lunch (decisions can be hard when you are a girl, even harder when you are three!) First she said grilled cheese, then no no turkey and cheese.  Andrew got a grilled cheese and she got her choice, turkey and cheese.  Only by that time, she had changed her mind back to grilled cheese for lunch. After she had a small meltdown, Andrew decided he would give her half of his sandwich...giving up grilled cheese, that is serious love!

They have been wanting to sleep in the same room lately, which is fine...as long as they can stop giggling long enough to fall asleep!  Last night they went to bed and when I went into check on them I found Emily half on top of Andrew with an arm over his neck.  Poor little guy looked so uncomfortable, and she looked so peaceful (and sweaty, why do my kids sweat so much?!).  I snapped a picture and showed them today, they both agreed it was hilarious.

Emily has been practicing her bike riding.  It has been so hot lately we only get out in short spurts.  A few weeks ago, she told me training wheels are for babies and insisted we take hers off.  She can ride about 10-15 feet without them, but was frustrated she couldn't get further.  So yesterday we put the training wheels back on so she could get a little more practice with them.  Lucky for her, she has a big brother who is really good at riding bikes and always willing to help to give her some pointers!

I would also just like to mention that daddy dressed Emily in this dress backwards, probably the 4th time in a row he has done this.  Even Emily told him today "Why do you keep putting this dress on backwards?!"  Fashion is so hard for dads....
