Guilt

The girls normally do things together. We play with the same people, we all do the same activities. Both girls were involved in gymnastics this summer. Saige was in Mommy and Me and Reese was in preschool gymnastics but they were both doing the same thing at the same time. When we were getting ready for ballet Saige didn't understand why she couldn't do ballet also. Once we got there she was ok but all the way TO ballet she kept asking "I going to ballet too?" and I'd respond with "Yes, we're going to watch Reese do ballet" and she'd say it louder as if it clarify her question, "NO AM I going to ballet?" On the way home she kept saying "when I get bigger can I do ballet?"

Poor Saige.

Yesterday was similar. We went to a school play date for Reese. We were to drop Reese off to play, do a craft and eat a snack. Saige wanted to stay sooo bad. When I asked if she wanted to go to McDonald's for ice cream she said "no I want to do a craft". I finally got her to leave and we went to Target for an icee and huge cookie and she bought her doll baby Abby a new outfit. She was so pleased with it.

But I felt so bad that she isn't able to do some of the things Reese is and she doesn't get why. I'm thankful that she won't remember any of this :)

But today in my Saige guilt of hand me down clothes, toys, and no activity or private play date she got a very cool metal Dora thermos. She was so excited about it. I didn't get Reese one because her lunch kit came with a (not as cool) thermos. Saige napped with it and when I went to check on her she said "I love my new cup! Thank you Mommy".

Guilt gone. Amazing!
