Yesterday we had an amazing morning with the girls. We brought them to the tidepools that we found the day before, and also brought along two boogie boards to surf the waves. Sophie absolutely loved boogie boarding and was so good at it!

Anyway, we got home around 1pm and Riley came over at 2pm for a play date. The girls were sitting on the floor playing pretend with their princesses and the scenario was something about being a “cool girl”. I overheard the following while i was making muffins and it had my heart was beaming with pride:

Riley (she was playing the mean one but made sure to tell everyone it was just pretend b/c she is super sweet): You can’t be a cool girl like me.

Sophie: It doesn’t matter if i look different. I can still be a cool girl. We all look different. What matters is what comes from inside.

Riley: Oh

Ugggghh i wanted to run over and hug Pooks to let her know what a brilliant comment that was but i waited until Riley left 3 hours later. They are both so adorable and sweet. Also Sabs was playing with them and she kept pulling the beads they were playing with so instead of getting mad Riley said “Hey Sabs, want to play catch?” and stopped what she was doing, got up, and played catch to distract her. SO proud of these two.

For the last hour Riley’s little sister Luka came over and the four of them were just precious together. They all ended the day with red lipstick on courtesy of Pooks.

When they had to leave, Riley had a little meltdown because she didnt want to go home. Sophie went over to calm her down and then said “Hey I know, how about we all have a group hug until we see each other again in one day”. UGHHHH precious. The four of them gave a group hug.

Pooks you make a momma proud!
