So how was I blessed with such High Maintenance girls?? Karter wants to dress herself everyday. Nothing I pick out is "cute" or matches. I tried to make her wear some skinny jeans I bought her from the Gap and she said, "Only boys wear jeans". If she wears pink pants, she has to have a pink shirt to "match". It's such a production in the mornings. Madison on the other hand is at the age where she can't find anything to wear. I went in her room this morning and she's all stressed out. I bought her 5 new shirts last night, but none of them she could wear today for some odd reason. I found a very cute sweater I bought her for Christmas with the tags still on and made her wear it. She has so many clothes it's ridiculous. Now she is wanting to wear all my clothes and shoes. I came home the other day and she comes out of my closet with one of my dresses on. I'm like seriously! She even wears my shoes, ugh! All morning it was about how her face is fat, her nose is big and her hair is wrinkled. I don't remember those days I guess or I didn't care at that age what I looked like for school. Can I just say again "High Maintenance"!!!
So my youngest sister Alex came over Saturday to do some sewing. She is prego with her first baby. Karter watched her carefully and asked questions about the baby she is carrying. She first asked Alex what the baby eats, Alex told her "she eats what I eat"... Not thinking that Karter was soaking this all in, she was watching Alex as she was having a hard time sitting on the floor with her belly and felt like she was squashing it. On Sunday evening Karter told me she had a baby in her belly and that "she eats what Karter eats". I just laughed and thought nothing of it. Well today after we were are all home, she told Duncan to be careful and not squash her belly because she has a baby in there. He kept reassuring her "no you don't". Then they were wrestling on the bed and Karter told him not to hurt her belly. At dinner she again said how she has a baby in her belly. Duncan told her again, "No you do not"!!! Karter said, "Yes remember dad last week( her favorite saying), you asked me if I wanted a baby sister or baby brother and I told you a baby sister, well she is in my tummy". She then said, "See Dad how big my belly is"? Geez hope this little phase passes by quickly.
The girls seem to be fighting a lot more lately. Not sure why since they are 9 years apart!! So I have to share a funny Karter did tonight. She and Madison were fighting over this bear (that is Madison's), but Karter claims it's hers. Karter goes to her room and comes out with a door knocker she had made at school. She says to Madison, "Sissy you know what this says, this says You( and points to Madison) can not come in my room" .. She explained to Madison how she was not aloud in her room and she means it. Karter seems to be picking up lots of Madison's sayings, like "Whatever" and "Are you kidding Me" is her new favorite saying. Duncan had to leave out of town again tonight and he told Karter before he left, "I'll call you later before bed and tell you good night", she said, "Okay dad, call me on my cell phone", ha!
