Carlee loves her younger cousin Sydney (and her older cousins too for that matter). I offered to watch Sydney while her brother and sister were busy with art class, swimming lessons, and tumbling class (yes, all in one evening)! Plus Carlee gets excited when she sees Sydney so I figured it be fun for her.
Sure enough when Sydney shows up, Carlee was at the front door chanting Sydney (which sounds more like "Neh-ney".) Sydney had just started walking so she is nonstop. I forgot how they are at that age. Carlee is less than 9 months older but she will play with a toy for periods at a time or sit and "read" a book. Sydney was everywhere. But she's also so easy going and mellow. She didn't make a peep the whole night. Look at that precious face!
I love these pictures. It was fun to see them interact. I got to see Carlee act as the bigger kid showing Sydney how to do things or telling her "No, No, No, Neh-ney" when Sydney grabbed my cell phone.
Carlee was so excited to have Sydney around, she wanted to show her everything. When Carlee told me "poopoo" and I asked if she needed to go to the potty, she nodded then stood there and said "C'mon Neh-ney, c'mon"! She wouldn't go anywhere without her cousin.
Towards the end of the night when both of them started to get tired, that was the hard part for me. Carlee isn't used to sharing my attention so I had both kids on my hips at one point. I don't know how moms of twins or even two young ones do it! I had fun with the two of them, but after one night I was exhausted!
