First day of the 2010 school year

This morning was not off to a good start at 6am when the girls decided to wake up at least an hour earlier than usual. So being someone who loves sleep, I convinced the girls it was too early to wake up and got them to both go back to sleep. At 7:15 Aubree woke up and was in a very good mood, and was very excited about going back to school. Hayley woke up at 8 and cried and cried. We tried everything; breakfast, which made her cry even more. We tried taking her upstairs with us to watch TV and lay in our bed while we finished getting ready that made her cry even more. Eli and I didn't know what to do. Eli kept asking her what was wrong and she kept crying. Finally Aubree walked in and asked her if she was sad because Aubree was going to school. Hayley said yes through her tears, we explained to her that Aubree would be back soon then she thought. But that didn't seem to matter, she just didn't want Aubree to go. The one thing that helped was having the exact same outfit for Hayley as Aubree was wearing. After we got her dressed Hayley was happy to be matching Aubree and was very excited to have their pictures taken together. I am happy to announce that there we no more tears from any of us. When we left to go pick Aubree up from school you would have thought it was Christmas Hayley was so excited she could hardly keep still long enough for me to click her in her seat.
Sometimes its hard to like your sister soooo much!
