girls night.

Erik was in Vancouver for school a couple weeks ago. I am not the biggest fan of being home alone so I invited Maelle and Elinor for a sleepover.

It was only Elinor's second time sleeping over and she did wonderfully. Like I've said before, my house is magical when it comes to making babies sleep. I missed my girls -- I have been so busy that I haven't had much time to spend with them.

Elinor is more determined than her sister was... She will scream at you if she wants to be picked up. At one point Elinor was walking to me and I went to help Maelle on the potty so Nori started crying. It took Maelle some time to finish on the pot so poor Elinor hollared for a bit. When I came back into the kitchen I found her right where I left her... poor girl. She was so relieved when I scooped her up and gave her a hug.

I sheepishly told her Ma that I let her scream because I couldn't hold her the whole time. If I did than there would be no food or bathroom breaks for Maelle or I. Little Miss and I employed many methods of distraction to entertain the wee one and it worked much of the time. Elinor spent much of the time sitting on the counter drooling on whatever she could get her hands on.

Maelle Mai is getting so big! My little baby is so grown up! She is thoughtful (I was rocking an unhappy Elinor and Maelle brought all of her toys and placed them around us), she is silly, and she is cuddly. I love her. I have missed her so much.

Elinor Alida Joy is determined. She is goofy, she is stubborn, she is sensitive, and she is loud. I feel like I am still getting to know her -- I haven't spent nearly as much time with her as I'd like. My Little Joy.

Have a good day!
