Big Sister

CJ has been a great big sister. Sometimes too helpful and too willing to share. While we were in IA, CJ began to get too rough with Laurelei and wrestling her every chance she got. To CJ's defense, Laurelei would laugh as it was the most fun in the world, but she still was playing too rough. So I set up the play pen as a safe area for Laurelei to play...only to find...

That's right, she climbed right in to play with her little sister. She also tossed out all the toys so Laurelei had to play with her. Now Laurelei really didn't seem to mind, I did! My mom likes to tell the story of when I would play in the play pen outside, our dog Lightning would jump in with me, so I guess this is what happens, but I found it scary and dangerous for Laurelei.

Yesterday was hot, today is hot, and they promise the weekend will continue with this 100+ temperatures. So we have been inside. After using the bathroom, I thought I heard CJ washing her hands. I told her to turn off the water and that she was done, and this is what greeted me.....
She told me, "I wash my hair" um great...but we don't just wash our hair, we wash our hands. Later, again after using the toilet she comes out with soaking wet underwear..."I wash my underwear". Isn't she the most helpful little girl around?
Eric's flight yesterday was the first one he managed to not get sick on. That was the good news, the bad news is, his instructor noticed that he wasn't as well prepared has he had been on previous flights. Oops, I guess chaos has returned home. We'll have to get studying at home with the girls worked out.
