Here's little mini-Emma; she was 3 in this picture. She's holding mini-Pearl, how cute are they both? Even down to the little bruised leg. She was my baby back then. Little did I know that in 4 years, she would be my 'middle'. Emma had a few Jan Brady issues about not being the youngest, nor the oldest. She liked the 'baby' position in the family. And I can't blame her; that was my family position and it was a good one.The girls love to watch reruns of 'Full House' and there's an episode about Stephanie, the middle daughter, not wanting to be in the middle. They tell her that many of the best things in life are in the middle, the meat of a sandwich, the cream in the oreo, etc. I reminded Em of this and I think it helped . . a little. I still have to remind her sometimes how lucky she is to have a taste of both worlds. Being an older sister, and a younger one, all at the same time.
So, she was the chocolate back then in 2000, but now she's my cream.
And she's going to be 8 years old tomorrow. As I always say, how did THAT happen?

Time sure does fly.
I just was thinking this last night and A is only 4.
What a sweet post. A great way to explain being in the middle. GREAT! I have just the two chocolate ends and if I end up with creme, I'll be flippin' OUT! lol
Fabulous post!
Yep, three and four are definitely my favorite ages! :)
