We spent the morning at Lake Tahoe-it was absolutely beautiful. The kids played in the sand and we even took a little 'hike'. It was a perfect morning.
Elliot was a little frustrated walking on the sand---makes it much harder to keep up with Delaney. Sometimes my heart hurts for him a little bit-he tries so desperately to keep up with his big sister. When Elliot wakes up from his nap before Delaney, he runs over to her bedroom door and starts banging on it! He so wants her attention all of the time. It's sweet but also so vulnerable. And Laney can be a great big sister, and then a not-so-great big sister, and Elliot gets so frustrated with her when she doesn't want to play. He'll gladly play / do whatever Laney wants to do-he doesn't care as long as she's playing with him!
We try very hard to give both of our children individualized attention. But let's face it, Delaney is much more demanding than Elliot (at least at this point), and I worry that Elliot gets 'lost' some days. So-when we have the opportunity, I spend special time with my little boy. And Elliot was my buddy today at the beach. We had a great time, playing in the sand, picking up sticks and climbing on rocks. He's my boyfriend!
