Watching Scarlett grow and develop her personality has been a joy these past months. Everyday she teaches me about love, kindness, and patience. She has no idea the example she is to her family. I feel so blessed to have my oldest have such a pure heart!
She takes her role as a big sister very seriously and loves to make Alice happy. I find her sharing with Alice, even if it is her favorite toy. She says "Oh Alice, you can have it. You can give it back later". At times Alice can be naughty and do naughty things. I get frustrated! Scarlett routinely reminds me "Mom, she is just a baby! It's okay." She helps get Alice dressed in the morning and then helps get her undressed for a bath at night. She even gently takes out Alice's hair tie saying "there you go Alice. Doesn't that feel good?" Her kindness is a gift from above. Scarlett is a second mother to Alice and it has been a huge help to me.
Scarlett has love in her heart. She yearns to make everyone around her feel loved. She draws me a picture when ever she goes to the gym child care. When I pick her up she says "mom I made it for you because I love you!" She will make her bed and run to tell me "mom, I did it because I love you!" We have discussions about choosing the right when I put her bed. She understands that making right choices shows Heavenly Father and Jesus that you love them. I am amazed at how much love she has to give. When you are around Scarlett you feel loved!
This morning we had eggs for breakfast. They are Scarlett's favorite food, she LOVES eggs and toast. Alice ate her eggs really fast and wanted more but we were all out. Scarlett immediately said "here you go Alice have my eggs and I will have yogurt". She gave Alice her eggs and Alice beamed with gratitude. In her baby voice Alice said "thank you Scarlett". That sums up my most beautiful little girls!
