my Jules

On wednesdays while Lizzie is at pre school I get to spend some time with Julia. I feel like its a little glimpse into her world, where for once I am not encouraging her not to whine or fight with her sister. It's amazing how a big sister can bring that out in you. She walks around on her tip toes and while telling me a story yesterday she was twirling around the hall with her arms out. It was so cute. I thought, I wonder what my daily life would be like if I got SO excited about every little thing! If I left a room skipping and giggling hysterically, or I twirled while telling Andy about what went on that day! Being 2, almost 3, is so much fun. We have our challenging moments, but for the most part Julia is just a bundle of joy and excitement.
On the way to go get Lizzie I put on one of Andy's yankee hats (um, covering the bed head!) and she said "that's daddy's hat!". "I'm going to tell daddy you have his hat." This was in a sing songy voice, you know the tattle telling kind, which I didn't like so I told her she may not talk to me like that. She looked at me all shocked and offended that I corrected her attitude and she said, "Mommy, don't say those words to me because God MADE me!"
I was at a loss for words.
