Yes, it was an epic day in the Rowe household. Not only did Julia have plans for her friend Simi to come over after school, but she got to wear the outfit she had picked out to match the tantrum-throwing toddler in her book of poems.
(In case you need a refresher):
So, despite 80 degree temperatures, Julia set off for school in a long-sleeved blue top, skirt, black leggings, and rain boots:
Madeleine, always desperate to prove she's a part of the gang, insisted upon bringing her backpack with us when we drove to drop Julia off at school. And it didn't stop there. Madeleine's backpack had to hang from an unclaimed coat hook ALL DAY at school; it absolutely could not accompany us back to our house. Furthermore, once the play-date was in full swing, Madeleine was over-eager to be included in all the fun. Which, unfortunately, included ear-piercing (literally, the older kids were covering their ears), excited exclamations throughout lunch. "WHAT!?!? MOMMY IS EATING CARROTS FOR HER LUNCH?!?"
Madeleine sobbed her poor little heart out when I took her up to nap just as Julia and Simi sat down to watch "Barbie: Three Musketeers" (APPLE SAUCE!) The worst of it occurred when Madeleine woke up from nap and we had the following exchange:
MADELEINE: Uh, Mommy, where's Simi?
ME: Oh, Simi had to go home, honey. Her baby-sitter came to get her.
MADELEINE: (bursting into inconsolable tears of deprivation.)
The bright side of this whole ordeal is that I definitely won't have to worry about separation anxiety when I drop her off at preschool next year. She is more than ready to begin her adventures in the cool world of friends and play-doh!
Hahaha Courtney i yie yie. Those kids. Julia's outfit is actually pretty darn close!
