Selfless sister

When I picked up Isabella from school today she was excited to tell me that she was invited to a birthday party.

I looked at the date and realized that Jason and I will be out of town that weekend.  I'm not going to expect my sister or my mom to take her to a birthday party at 8:45 on a Saturday morning.

(we were all in the car driving home)

Me:  Isabella, I'm sorry, but I don't think you're going to be able to go to the party because mommy and daddy will be out of town that weekend.

Isabella:  Oh, that's okay.  She looked at Olivia and said-- I don't want to have too much fun without Olivia.  Olivia, I don't want you to feel left out.  I think I'd like to stay home with you (Olivia) that day instead and we'll do something fun together.  Mom, don't worry about it, I don't need to go to the party. 

Olivia:  Okay, Isabella- that's great.  We'll have fun that day together. 

Not every conversation goes smoothly but I'm grateful when it does. 

Oh-- and then there was the conversation we had yesterday morning about why the eggs we eat don't have baby chicks in them.  She wasn't satisfied with my answers and so I went over fertilization by a rooster.  She was still confused by my explanation and then concluded on her own that the rooster and chicken have to cuddle in order for a baby chick to be in the egg.
