Caregiver

Last night around midnight Brayden came into my room vomiting. Poor guy and no fun for us having a big mess to clean up. The night proceeded with him throwing up every hour, I stayed on the couch with him to help him (he really didn't want to be alone) So today he has spent the day on the couch, no fun to see your kids so sick. Eliza has been so sweet. She gets him blankets and water. She made herself an egg and was so worried about Brayden trying to get him to eat one. She said she would put his cups away when he was done. She has this sweet Caregiver side to her, whenever I am sick she is always bringing me water and food. What a good Sister and Daughter!!!

I surrender!

Every day I commence in battle against my sweet little Eliza. For a few years now she has been picky about what she wears. At first it was that she would only wear dresses, which was not a problem, I just quit buying pants and shirts for her. Last winter she had no problem wearing leggings with her dresses. This winter I have been fighting another battle. Now if her leggings are not extremely tight in the waist or the right length then she refuses to wear them. So I let her go out without leggings only to have the entire walk consist of her crying because she is too cold. Now many of her dresses that she used to wear she refuses with some strange reason. I took her to Old Navy and had her try on some dresses where she picked the ones out she liked, however now she Refuses to wear them. Along with this is her hair, I try and try to do her hair only to have blood sweat and tears. Her hair has to be extremely tight and her head is super sensitive. Many times when I do her hair within minutes it is taken out. So I am saying that I surrender she can wear what she wants and if you see her most likely her hair will not be done, the fighting is just not worth it. Needless to say I am very glad this next one is a boy.....
