This little girl was born to be a mom! She is so cute with all her dolls. She is always changing someone's diaper or taking them on a walk in the stroller. And if one is asleep we all know it. Not sure where she got that one. Haha!
The other day Elizabeth was bossing Wyatt around. I told her to take care of Elizabeth and that I would be Wyatt's mom. Wyatt said, "Yeah, because you are not a mom!" I knew by the look on her little face that she was hurt by that comment. Before I saw tears I knew exactly why. She thrives on being the best mommy and for someone to say she wasn't a mom was an insult. We calmed her down and told her she was a good mommy but that I needed to regulate when Wyatt went to time out.
Another thing that I've been thinking about is that I'm her example of how to be a mom. Scary thought indeed! But something that will always stick with me is one time Wyatt was sad. I was hugging him and rubbing his back. After I got up, Elizabeth rubbed his back and kept asking if he was alright. Wyatt ate that up but it made me want to be a better mom because I have a little shadow that is learning the tricks of the trade from me. Good thing motherhood comes naturally for her.
