The little piggys house and Sisters

I hate to admit this because I feel it makes me a bad mother but most children's toys gross me out! I mean they really do, like I can't touch them, I have to hold them with a cloth, I'm always cleaning them because I feel they are full of germs they go from the floor to their mouths and then on to some kind of linty surface that rubs off on them, the nylon hair on a doll  and the bally clothes are very difficult for me and most balls I don't know why but I can't handle them, even as a very young child marbles were impossible for me to touch and don't get me started on balloons, I get physically sick if I have to touch one.  Of course every kid has toys and mine are no exception, if only they would be happy with wooden toys and books. A while ago my husband bought them this Little Piggy house, I didn't see what was inside if not I would have boycotted it, but by the time they opened it, it was too late, of course they LOVE it. It was hidden for a while but now its out and it is Cami's absolute favorite

The house itself is not a problem, the culprits are the little piggys that go with it

I have tried to get past it but I can't, on top of it they are this hard plastic and they throw them on the hard floor and they make the most annoying sound over and over again. I always hope they will get lost but of course there they are, ever present.

     This morning Isabella uncharacteristically slept in, she came to our bed at 5:30 and we figured it was close enough to 6:00 so we let her stay, she fell asleep again and slept till 8:00 which hardly ever happens. Usually its Cami who sleeps in a little to make up for her crying at night, and Isabella comes down with me to heat up and pack her Dads lunch and then sits with him while he eats breakfast, we then play and read together just the two of us, when we hear Cami wake up Isabella always cries "Nooooo, not Cami". I think as a mother I worry if they will like each other. My older sister is 2 years to the day older than me, we are polar opposites, I can think of very few people I love more than her, but we did not get along at all, we were constantly fighting usually her staying nice and composed and me freaking out making a big scandal and getting in trouble, she was more of a smart fighter and I was more emotional. I've always known that I can trust her and her me, and we talk and I miss her so much but there is no way we could or ever should live together, any time we have tried it has been a disaster. When I was pregnant with Cami, everyone would always say  "Oh they are so close together they will be best of friends" it was not our case till we were much older. I always hope that they will get along, they are not even a year and half apart so maybe being closer than two years will help. I've had the experience of being the younger sister and all the feelings that come with being the middle child and feeling that my sister was so much better than me in everything and I felt she was quite snobby to me when we were kids. I must have been a pain to her, later on in life I had someone in my life that was like a younger sister I suppose, we worked together but she copied everything I did and whatever was happening to me was "me too", it could have been a stomach ache a bad night, a preference of a certain food, movie, you name it, it was "me too" it drove me crazy to say the least, she was the sweetest person so I felt bad for getting so bothered but I felt  like "go live your own life, stop trying to latch on to mine". I think it might feel something like that for an older sister. 

    Anyway, this morning I was alone playing with Cami something that rarely happens, I was wondering if she was happy that she finally had all my attention, she does get very jealous when I have to carry Isabella or give her extra attention, so I was looking at her thinking about that and she was happy for a few minutes but then she started walking around kind of aimlessly so I asked her if she was looking for Bella (Isabella) because she was upstairs sleeping, she immediately ran to the gate by the steps and starting calling "Be, Be", it was so cute, she was looking for her sister, we heard Isabella waking up  and we went upstairs and her face just lit up, it made my heart happy.

Isabella is very bossy with her and always tries to control her, Cami won't have any of that though so they end up fighting a lot. The other day Isabella told me that she doesn't like playing with babies and Cami is a baby and she prefers to play with "big gurls" (that's how she pronounces it, she has the cutest accent), but then she feels its her mission to take care of her, whenever we go out she is extremely concerned that I am always holding Cami so she doesn't get lost and she always wants to know where she is, so they do love each other.
