1st Day of School - Julianna 3rd Grade and Alessandra Kindergarten

Great big sister

Julianna is an amazing big sister...Alessandra is very lucky to have a carrying and patient sister.

Alessandra started summer camp with Julianna and when I drop them at school, Julianna takes over and hold Alessandra hand and take care of her sister. A few teacher told me that they are very cute together and hoe they get along.
 

Julianna told me that Alessandra only wants to play with her and that sometimes she does want to play with her friends also. I talked with Alessandra and explained that she needs to try to make more friends and let Nana play with the kids from her own class.
 

At the end of another camp day I asked Julianna how did it go and Julianna told me 

- I told Alessandra to go play with her friends but when she started walking towards her class, she looked very said so I called her again :-) 

They play at home all the time ... If one wakes up before the other, they nned to wake the other up so they can play together. 

I hope they continue this way and that they became amazing friends like me and my sister 

Out of control

Out of Control OMG !!  Alessandra will not go to gymnastics.

It looked like she was going to the place she hate the most. I was so loosing my patience and I was so tired that I set down at the door of her bedroom and started to cry. 

The only amazing thing about this situation was Julianna ... Jules saw how upset that I was and decided to clean her whole room just to make me happier. She sat down next to me and said that she understand how hard it is for me but that it was good for Alessandra and that she will soon learn. At that moment, I looked at my 7 years old and saw how grown up she is now and how she is starting to understand the other side of tantrums.  I can't wait for Alessandra to understand that hurt me more than it hurt them when I need to yell or punish them...   I love them more than anything in the world

Not sure how to get out of this

Alessandra is too cute and she knows that ...she uses all this cuteness to make me do things that I am not supposed to do ...but how I can resist? She is growing up so fast and I don't want to miss any minute of it.  For the last few weeks, she is sleeping with me on my bed.

Everything started with her coming in the morning for a few minutes before I woke up, after that, she started coming in the middle of the night ... And now, she waits for Julianna to go to sleep and run to my bed.
One of the problems is that she kicks me the whole night, when she not kicking me, she is hugging me and waking me up with every little move. This morning I told her that she needed to go to stay at her bed and that I was not sleeping well with all the kicking. Alessandra looked at me , very offended and told me : Mama, but I did not know ... I am just 4 years ald :( OMG ... She is too cute and I can't resist !!!!

A lot of blood

Julianna today got hurt while playing at the Club's park. It was very scary and a lot of blood was comming from her mouth. Julianna was screaming and I did not really know what to do.
The next morning , the side of her cheek is very swelled and we are probably going to the Dr. Tomorrow

I love beeping a mom but I hate the thought of my kids ( or even, any kids) getting hurt.

I love you Jules and I hope you get well very soon
