Purple coat and snowpants

I am used to my girls fighting over most things so I have given in and buy two of the same of the items that I know will be coveted.  I just don't want to deal with the disappointment that comes from my girls having to share.  I would have to say that recently they have become pretty good negotiators and when they have to share they will say things like, "If I wear this shirt today, you can wear it tomorrow", or they will give in if the other one is extremely sad.

Yesterday afternoon Allison decided that she wanted to go out and play in the snow and Kaitlyn wanted to stay inside.  All of their snow gear was packed away in the car for daycare, so I let Allison wear my niece Jackie's purple jacket and snow pants that I had tucked away because the jacket and pants were still a bit too big.  Needless to say, the purple jacket and snow pants caused a lot of tears and disappointment.  Once Kaitlyn saw Allison all dressed, she started to cry hysterically and insist that she needed to go outside.  She wanted to wear Jackie's clothes.  I finally convinced them that they could take turns wearing the clothes, so for the next hour the girls rotated and took turns going outside with the coveted items.  So much drama coming from such little girls!
