We had such a fun weekend! My 24 hour surprise getaway was perfect. We had drinks, dinner, & played Scrabble by the fireplace. (I won, 240-214. Sorry, Bry.) On Saturday, Bryan worked while Kylie & I went to Shawano for my nephew Jack's school dance! It was so much fun. Jack, Sam & Kylie danced the night away. I can just picture Kylie as a teenager. Sarah & I were lucky, and Ben slept the whole time.
Yesterday, Kylie had a friend sleepover. They played so well together. Bedtime went really well, however they were awake & giggly this morning at 5! Last night at dinner, Kylie's friend was talking about her brothers and sisters. She actually does have two brothers, and was talking about her mom as her sister. It was so cute. (Three year olds have the cutest conversations with each other.)
I wanted to chime in so badly! I wanted to say, "Kylie has a little sister!". I held my tounge because I wanted to see if Kylie would say anything. She didn't.
I was a little disappointed. The topic quickly changed to painting their nails, or playing with baby dolls. I just hope that Kylie remembers Layla as her sister. I know she's probably too young to really comprehend what that means. As she gets older, I guess I'd like her to feel proud of her sister in heaven.
I think we need something in our house to recognize Layla. I don't want it to be shrine-like. Just something simple. I finally took down our Christmas decorations. Now my house looks bare. I don't want to take down our stocking holders because we have one for Layla with a beautiful angel ornament hanging from it. I'm sure I'll think of something. I hung a picture of Layla on the wall in Kylie's room. She was so excited to have it. When I finally do something creative, I'll post it. :)
