Juice, please...

I had worried about this some when Alayna was a newborn. That Kira might get jealous of Alayna's feeding times and want to try and nurse again. Of course, she didn't. But just a couple of nights ago, I was sitting in the rocking chair with Alayna for the upteenth time to feed her. Kira sat patiently on the bed until I was done and Alayna was safely in her crib. Then, she said "kira's turn, mommy." Thinking she just wanted some cuddle time (because she often says "kira's turn" and comes to sit with me), I hoisted her up into my lap. We rocked for a minute and then she started fiddling with my shirt...afraid of what might happen next, I stopped her and explained that only babies drank milk from mommy and big girls needed to use a cup. She looked at me with those big blue eyes and said.....

JUICE, PLEASE!

And then just laughed and laughed.

Silly girl!
