Makes me melt

Even before our move Mikaylah was not happy about leaving her friends in Texas, she was just sure the kids out here would be mean and she'd have a hard time forging bonds. Well, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect scenario. Our neighborhood is about 95% military families who are just as disgusted as us with on post housing. Kaylah has made friends with the girls and rides bikes and just hangs out nearly every single day. I enjoy seeing her grow into this beautiful little girl, but Nikelis on the other hand wants things to go back to just him and her. Yesterday I told Kaylah that if she vaccumed, put away her clothes, and cleaned her room she could go out with her girls. Nikelis assumed I was talking to him as well and both kids got down to business. The house was near perfect and Kaylah was headed out when Nikelis' face completely dropped. He said, "What about me, I cleaned my room too." Ugh, my heart broke into tiny little pieces. Mikaylah, being such a good big sis told him she loved him and would be back later to hang out, do whatever he wanted to. But the tears were hard for him to hold back as he said, "I just wanna play with Kaylah, why does she have to go outside?" I guess the age difference is starting to make a difference. Poor little boy. When I told Erik about it we both had a hard time fighting back the tears. Its crazy what these little poopies can do to a parent's hearts!!!
