Cavan and I are sitting at the dining table this morning eating scrambled eggs and I ask Cavan if she is going to teach Emma everything she knows. Cavan says "Yes!" and proceeds to tell me everything that she will teach her little sister.
I will teach her how to walk outside.
I will teach her how to drink a sippy.
I will teach her how to climb the rock wall on my swing set.
I will teach her how to eat with a fork.
I will teach her how to draw my name and her name with pencils.
I will teach her how to learn her letters.
I will teach her how to put diapers on Betty [her doll].
I will teach her how to lock Spoonsy [the dog] in his crate.
I will teach her how to turn on the big music and the little music [the stereo system and the ipod dock].
I will teach her how to put the [re]cycle in the bag.
I will teach her how to put one leg and two legs like this and flip right off [in reference to climbing of the bench].
I will teach her how to cook in my kitchen.
I will teach her how to rock on my rocking horse.
I will teach her how to climb the stool.
I will teach her how to pet The Boodgies [the cat] so nice.
I will teach her how to vacuum with my vacuum.
I will teach her how to eat eggs.
Those are all the things I will teach her.
And then the day will come when Cavan says "Mom Emma's cooking in MY kitchen and I don't want her too". And one day you will not hear anything and look and see both girls playing quietly together and you'll get the biggest smile on your face.
