Cup Party

Today I was upstairs feeding Emilyn when I heard the water in the sink start. I was suspicious but waited awhile before coming down to check on Matisyn. When I found her she was up at the sink and informed me she was having a cup party. She had all the cups she could find filled up and spread out all over. There was water pouring all over. She had also helped herself to snacks in the pantry and taken them into the family room to eat them where she knows she's not supposed to eat. She looked pretty cute having her cup tea party and since the damage was quite minimal I had to smile.

Matisyn says, my baby is so, so, so pretty, pretty, pretty cute (repeated all throughout the day)
I find myself saying don't touch her face, get your hands out of her mouth please, please leave baby sister alone (repeated all throughout the day) I'm glad she loves her so much, but she has a cough right now and can't seem to understand that the cough is not something I want her to share with her sister.

She is confused about whether it is better to be big, little or a baby so she kind of flip flops between the three options hoping to get the best of all worlds.
Apparently she told her Aunt Becky that she could not help clean up because she was just a little girl. She is also a little girl when it comes to having her binky.
Today when I was changing her diaper (seems like that is all I do all day now between the two of them!) she said that babies poop in their diaper, but not mommies or big girls. So I asked her why she does it then since she is not a baby, and she said she is just pretending to be a baby. Who would have thought the source of all my potty training frustration would be because I have an imaginative three year old pretending to be a baby! I wouldn't want to mess with her creativity!
She is a big girl when it comes to staying up later, getting more treats, going on the big toys at the park, etc.
Looking like a big girl to me!

On our way to the hospital for number 3 jaundice check. We were finally cleared! We also did a weight check at the doctor's office and Emilyn was up a few ounces, 7 lbs 1.5 oz, almost back to her birth weight.
