Sammie's Rules
For quite a while before having Eliana, I wondered how other mothers were able to tell what their children's personalities were like. I couldn't really figure out Sammie's because I was around her all the time and nothing seemed to stand out.....but then I had Eliana.
....and all of a sudden I could see the vast differences between the two of them. Then I knew it, I knew how other mother's could do it.
By comparison.
So with Sammie being the bossy, no nonsense, princess type that she is, it didn't surprise me that she came up the other day with a list of rules for her 8th birthday party.
Now Sammie just had her 7th party, so she is very prepared....
Rule #1: No Boys allowed
Rule#2: Have Fun
Rule#3: Don't make a Mess
Rule#4: Introduce yourself to others at the party
Rule#5: Eat everything on your Plate (which I don't where she got that one from b/c we don't make her do that).
Rule#6: Don't be loud at night when others are trying to sleep
Rule#7: Make sure to bring your sleeping bag and pillow
I could very well see Sammie as a grown business woman, not particularly in a hurry to get married or have children. I think she will get married and have children, I just don't think she is that little mother you see in some girls.

She is very mature and very much the oldest. I am so looking forward seeing the girls.
Love OMA
That is too cute! She is all business! It's quite common for the eldest child to be quite administrative. (Anneka is the same way. at her birthday, I had to post a schedule on the wall so all the kids could see in what order we were doing things at the party. It seemed to bring a calm to those "administrative" type personalities in the room!!)
haha ... I'm wondering how it all worked out at her 7th-party?
I was the youngest athome, so I have no worries about nothing, I'm still very 'easy-going', my hus is the oldest and he's more the 'planner' of us-2 here...Its just a 'oldest' behavior, like Sammie's..
And you Jennifer?
Are you the youngest or the oldest?
Joann,
I'm the youngest and I definately act like it. I'm very easy going like you, but I'm also emotional, I could cry at the drop of a hat. That's why good sappy movies are right up my alley.
