So, I had my Sophia and I thought I knew a thing or two about being a mom. Boy oh boy, was I wrong! I realized that I only knew how to be Sophia's mom....not Isabella's!!
My girls are literally night and day from one another!! I wake up Sophia for school and she springs out of bed ready to shower and get ready for school....clothes, hair done, breakfast, teeth brushed and bag packed and ready! She has been in this routine, without much prompting, since she started preschool at 3. Isabella on the other hand......we are lucky if she is dressed by the time we need to be out the door.
I usually wake up Bella about 6 times before she stops covering her face back up trying to go back to bed. By the 6th or 7th time, she finally rises from her bed only to lay on the floor. Might I add that by this time, Sophia is usually showered, dressed and brushing her hair while singing! Once Bella finally has the ability to stand to get dressed, she lets me dress her in whatever I want---no arguing! Again, complete change from Sophia who fought me tooth and nail about her clothes until I gave in and let her wear a dress every single day!
Once Bella is dressed, she will usually stand in her room and stretch a few more minutes before she makes her way to the kitchen for breakfast. She will usually pick at whatever I made and then wonder off to play with a book or to try on daddy's shoes! Unlike Sophia who stays on schedule as if she was following a script, Bella could care less about what the morning routine is and likes to just do things her way and at her pace!
Once I can finally manage to get Bella into the bathroom to have her hair fixed, we are usually crunched for time and stressing to get Sophia to the bus. However, if I tell Bella we do not have time to fix her hair it is not Bella that cares, but Sophia! Sophia would not leave the house without her hair brushed and is just looking out for the best interest of her little sister as well!
Just another Thursday morning in the Powell household! Luckily, Sophia has yet to miss the bus and Isabella has rarely left the house in shambles (thanks to her big sister)! I can't imagine my life without my girls are their fun and amazing, but incredibly different personalities!
Although......I do (slightly) fear the teen years!
