Poor Sawyer. She never gets to do anything. She usually goes through 2 pairs of pajamas in a day: daytime jammies and nighttime jammies. We are trying so hard to keep Sawyer from becoming the consumate middle child. It is difficult. She doesn't get attention, like her older sister, for going to school and being a smartie. She doesn't get attention, like her baby brother, for being cute and sweet. She generally gets attention for doing naughty things like poking Eamon in the eye or pulling Madeline's hair. We try to shower her with praise for every little positive thing she does. We try to get her up and moving. I tried, on our exciting snow day to get her dressed in her warm clothes and to get her outside in the snow. She kinda liked it for about 10 minutes. She then began to repeat, (and Sawyer can repeat things like nobody's business) "I'm done, Mommy." At least she got a bit of fresh air and was able to play with Ainsley for few minutes (see pic.). Maybe next year she will more fully appreciate the fleeting wonder of the snow day....
