This morning, Isabelle woke up earlier than Madeline. She walked into the kitchen with her hand behind her back. A clear indicator that she sucked her thumb last night. She is really having a hard time trying to quit. Jared and I both took turns last night, laying with her. Telling her stories, singing to her, praying with her. Anything to get her asleep without sucking on that thumb. This morning it was as wrinkled as a raisin, hiding behind her back, in hopes we wouldn't see it. We felt so bad for her... We'll try again tonight. Praying for us, for her!
We heard Madeline starting to wake up over her monitor. Isabelle jumped up and said, "Can I get her, Mommy??" She runs across the house, slowly opens her sisters room and I can hear her walk over to her bed. "Rise & shine, and give God the Glory, glory." She sings softly, preciously. "Good morning, my Maddie girl!" I love that she calls her Maddie-girl. And I love hearing our house filled with early morning praises to our God! What a wonderful way to start our day! It's a memory that will always stay with me.
After a little morning Spring cleaning, we headed to a play date with some of our best friends. We always enjoy getting to see our friends!
We came home, enjoyed lunch & a little ice cream. Isabelle asked if she could play dress up so I pulled out my camera. I pretty much wrote this blog post just to share these photos. :) I love having little girls! Life is so sweet & I'm always so very thankful. I really wish I could have talked Madeline into dressing up! She was busy coloring. :)
