Like brother like sister.

Pretty much anything that Eli is doing Matea needs to be right there doing along with him. Sometimes that annoys Eli, but most of the time he’s alright with that and even has fun with Matea. Eli got on a kick last week about wearing his Lightning McQueen backpack, so of course Matea NEEDED his backpack too. I tried substituting one of her little purses (I’ll post about that another time), but she knew that they were different and wanted no part of it. Then I remembered a little Lightning McQueen backpack that I had gotten on clearance at Target last year and Eli had used to carry cars for a while. I found it (a miracle!) and dug it out of the closet for Matea. At first she still wanted Eli’s, but after Eli helped her find things to put in her pack (including pacifiers, cars, and pretzels) she was happy with hers. I think the pacifiers sealed the deal. :) It was adorable to see them playing together with their matching packs!

Get this thing off of me!IMG_1962

Now I like my backpack! It’s my own pacifier transportation!IMG_1966

Eli needs things in his pack too!IMG_1959

Following Eli up the stairs to search for more things for our packs. We’re having fun adventures together!IMG_1969
