Growing up too fast

It's amazing how quickly the girls are growing up. One day Amelia's a toddler and the next she's wearing make-up.

It looks pretty obvious that Amelia has a different complexion than her mother - either that or she hasn't learned the fine art of blending quite yet.

Diana, who was only a baby yesterday is now helping her mom with tasks around the house.

Here we see Diana helping her mom re-caulk a bathtub.

But while the girls feel ready to take on adult-like tasks, they don't always get everything right. When I stepped away this afternoon, leaving Amelia in charge of filling our new swimming pool, Diana somehow got a hold of the hose and took over her sister's job. Her only mistake was in forgetting to change into swim clothes of some kind before entering the pool.

Still, it's great that the girls are so eager to help mommy.
