Different Storks??

My girls are so different from each other. Lauren is so "girly". Her favorite colors are pink and purple. She loves dresses and jewelry and make up. She's facinated with Barbie and princesses. Her favorite things to do are play dress up and put on dance shows or plays.

Addison is obviously much younger, but she already can't stand wearing dresses, peels off dress up clothes as soon as her sister puts them on her, and loves to put Barbies in toy cars and crash them into the wall! She thinks this is hysterical and will do it all day long. Her favorite things are to run fast and go down the slide and climb on furniture and jump on the bed or the couch. Preferably all at once.

They get along pretty well most of the time, though, and they are so cute to watch. They both love to read books, and share snacks and watch movies. I'm so glad I have them both, and that they have such different and vibrant personalities. I feel very blessed...

...especially after a day where I had to call a parent to tell her that her daughter with a traumatic brain injury thinks she is pregnant with her fictional boyfriend's baby, process a college application for a senior who was suspended for chewing tobacco in school and then drive a mentally ill student to the local homeless shelter with her garbage bag of belongings because she was asked to leave her home. What a world. It's so nice to come home to relative normalcy, and silly, cuddly, snuggly little girls...

That's what it's all about for me...
