Finally....major tears!

And her grief was over a $2 Princess phone!

At Walmart Friday I let Sophie and Katie each pick out a play cell phone. Sophie chose Minnie Mouse and Katie of course, Disney Princesses. All was well until we got home where it was quieter and Sophie realized that her phone didn't play songs like her sister's phone did. (I didn't realize either.)

Well, poor baby broke out in MAJOR tears! She said in Mandarin, "My sister's phone is better than mine!!" Yes, I was able to understand her completely!! Well, at least the "mei mei's  phone" part!! She was devastated!! I just had to pick her up and take her to the recliner and rock her and wait for her to settle down. She was very upset for several minutes (or it seemed that long anyway!) While she screamed and grieved I tried to convince Katie to share her new phone, not totally give it away, but share for a minute and then....Katie lost it! So now the phone is in Sophie's hands.... she quit crying pretty quickly once it was in her hands, but now Katie was inconsolable! It took over 30 minutes before we got both girls back in good moods and understanding that they COULD share one favorite phone and one NOT favorite phone!

Ah, the lessons in life! Sharing, being content! Not being jealous!
