Carter and Ellie have finally hit the stage I have been dreaming about ever since I had the crazy idea of having 2 kids less than 2 years apart. They are the best of friends and it is so much fun!! The kids play together all day and want to do everything the other one is doing. They get into "mine" fights over toys constantly and still haven't mastered the art of sharing (we are working on it). But even with all the drama I am having so much fun. It is so nice to have 2 kids that are able to do so much on their own. Today we were driving home and I stopped in a drive thru to get Carter some lunch (Ellie was sleeping). After about 15 minutes Ellie woke up and wanted some of Carter's food, we were on the freeway so I couldn't help so I asked Carter to please share with his sister, as I was driving I heard him ask her if she wanted a chicken nuggy or a fry. Ellie responed "chicky nuggy" and I watched in the mirror as Carter reached his arm across the middle seat to Ellie's and gave her a nugget. He then told her to say thank you and a little "dankk youuu" came out of her mouth. AHHHHHHHH these moments make the crazy days as a mom all worth it. I love my babies and I am so thankful to be able to stay home with them everyday as I watch them grow into healthy and smart little kids.
