God Made Girls

There is never a dull moment at our house these days, or a quiet one. People tell me all the time how easy I must have it with three girls, because surely they can’t be as rowdy or wild as boys. Really? Because just as I snuggle up on the couch to nurse Claire this morning, I hear Harper scream bloody murder, only to jump up in time to see Eloise about to eat a live DRAGONFLY. 
The perks of living in the woods.
Harper & Eloise got in their very first slapping-hair-pulling-fist-fight the other day. Like most kids, they always want what the other has, and when that one thing just happens to be a chair, things might get a little rough. Right when Harper sat down in it, she knew Eloise would want it so she started taunting her about how they were going to take turns, and how it was her turn first, and she would let her know when she was done sitting. Which was never, probably. Eloise decided her time was up, walked up to the back of it and dumped Harper out of the chair. Cue the pushing, hitting & eventually hair pulling, which left my jaw on the ground. I sent them both to time out (is this even real life?) & went straight into the kitchen to laugh. I couldn’t believe my two sweet girls were pulling each others hair already. God help me for the next 16 years.

Harper is our little drama mama. I say this because 1. Drama. And 2. She is such a sweet, caring little mama herself. She wants to take care of everyone & help with everything, she is so intuitive about everyone’s feelings. But also number one. Drama. Soooo much drama from this little threenager.
Melting drippy, messy ice cream? She will have none of it. Can’t find her shoes or get her carseat buckled? Meltdown. The other day, she poked the roof of her mouth with a straw and it was the end. of. the. world. Harper walked around the house all afternoon crying “my poor poke…. my poor poke… I just can’t do anything…” Drama mama.

We call Eloise the wrecking ball. She is really the sweetest little thing, I mean so sweet that you can’t stay mad at her for more than two entire seconds, and it is impossible to discipline her without turning your head to laugh at whatever ridiculous crime she has committed.  A perfect example of Eloise’s personality: She & Harper are eating their chic-fil-a outside at our playtable and Harper leaves for a second to go to the bathroom. Eloise swipes Harper’s lemonade, looks at me and grins, walks it all the way to the bathroom to give Harper a drink (sweetest kid ever) then on her way back? Takes a giant bite out of the side of the styrofoam cup, tosses it into the toy basket & then starts giggling. She is so ornery & stomps around the house wreaking havoc one room at a time. Eating chapstick, crayons & every last crumb left on our floor.
And then there’s miss Claire.  I’m not sure we know her itty bitty baby personality yet, already we see lots of both of her sisters in her, but know (and love) that she will become her own little person.

So, my girls, they may not be as wild as boys, but maybe they’re wilder? They’re crazy sweet, and full of sass. And sometimes a pain in my…

But I love them so!

    I have 2 girls 4 and 2 and I think you just described their personalities exactly!! I also have a 5 month old son and I have to say I completely relate to you about 3 kids being crazy!! I feel like i went from 2 kids to 7 if that's possible!!!
    Also, all the studies say having 3 girls is the most stressful combo of kids so even of boys may be rowdy girls sass wins over! Stay strong, drink wine and go Hawks!!

    Bahaha! LOVE the stories! I have three little boys – 5, 3, and 2 – and all the time people make comments about how full my hands are, how they can't imagine what it must be like in our house, etc. Well, it does get crazy, but they're KIDS. Honest to goodness, they're a lot less wild than people assume. But they do have their moments! When my second was 2, he was jumping off a box onto our couch saying, "To infinity and beyond!" Last week, my oldest and youngest were running around our living room, and #1 tripped or pushed #3 into our couch – which has a wooden futon frame. His bruises are finally almost unnoticeable. But he had a good unicorn bump going on for the past week and a half and has had a black eye or two for the past week. Lots of stories to tell them as they grow 🙂

    This may be one of my favorite posts of all time! My Abbie has Harper and Eloise's personality wrapped into one little two year old. It is crazy how they can make you want to pull your hair out one minute and the next laugh your ass of because they are the funniest little people on the planet! One minute I think, "How could I deal if I had a second" and then right after that I say, "This is the best damn life!" Love your family! XOXO

    So sweet and hilarious! I have a 3 year old son who is mostly pretty mellow and easy going (save the occasional, irrational meltdown) and an 8 month old daughter who I think is going to be my wild child. She gets mad all the time that she can't stand up, yet she can't quite do it on her own without support. Love hearing real life stories from other mommas!

I have 2 sisters and growing up with them was nothing except she took my jeans, who stole my lipstick, lol. Reading your blog makes me want to have baby #2 so my daughter can have a sibling to play with, but if there were fighting I'd probably have to walk away and laugh. I can't keep a straight face when my 19month old does something bad.

    This post was so sweet. I have 2 girls and I can agree with you about so many things. I hope you will do another one once miss claire becomes older and truly starts showing her personality. I have a feeling you will be sharing that she is the perfect blend of Harper's and Eloise' s personality.

    I am laughing hysterically because your older two sound like my two girls. The eldest (while we have yet to hit the drama stage) she is all princess and very thoughtful, the current youngest – a little wrecking ball. You have it she wants it, pulls hair, punches in the face and digs (she's 18 months almost) and man is she loud. But they are the sweetest (sometimes) and cuddliest (most of the time) and I love them more than anything, well maybe except when I am refolding laudry for the 100th time or watching Sofia the 1st episodes on repeat!

    I could have written your descriptions of Harper and Eloise as the descriptions for my 2 and 1 year old girls. Constant drama mama for my 2 year old (including telling the 1 year old *just* how to behave– "don't do that!," "stop your crying!," "sit down!," "eat your dinner and be quiet!") and Sweet & Sour for my 1 year old (an ornery sweet mess all. day. long, who screeches you to deaf the second she can't get her way). Can't wait to see if the next one will be a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, I can't wait to see if she'll be similar to Claire! If it's a boy, our world may just be rocked. 🙂

    We have three boys under the age of three. An almost-three-year-old and twin 18 month olds. I died laughing when you called Eloise your wrecking ball. We too have a wrecking ball, our "middle" child William. His favorite past time is climbing onto the dining room table and LITERALLY swinging from the chandelier. I'm not sure how it hasn't come crashing down yet. The first time it happened my husband belted out "I came in like a wreeeeeeeeeckin ball!" The name stuck.

    Oh Gosh, Jess, I sure needed that laugh! It's always better when it's someone else's kids, but the way you tell it, it's just the best. I have twin girls and a two year old boy, your Eloise stories remind me so much of him! And the twins, it is not uncommon to hear, "Stop it, Sister! Stop iiiittttttt!!" Only to come in and see that they are fighting over the same dress, both trying to get into it at once. I try really hard not to laugh but that funny stuff is just the best part of having kids.

Big sis always wants to play with little sis but then she screams "she's touching my stuff!! Get her away mom!" And little sis doesn't speak yet but gets her point across well enough to mean "no! Mine!" It's always a circus!
    And big sis is also a major drama queen! I accidentally vacuumed up a puzzle piece letter J and the rest of the day she carried around a broken J crying and saying "I'm sorry little J! I can't believe you did this to my J. My poor J!" Hilarious at first, but by the end of the day I was seriously over it. Lol

    This – was another great post. And while i fully, wholly, & totally believe how wild your girls are and how it may feel like boys could not be worse, i assure you they could. Maybe just different. I've had parents of broods of girls only argue me that boys verses girls are not easier or harder, that girls can be just as bad as boys. That every child is different. Which is true. But i will argue that boys and girls are VERY distinctly different (i do have one of each!) and i think boys are harder when they're younger. I definitely believe girls will be harder as teenagers (can you say emotional?) but i noticed a distinct different with my son from the minute he was born. There really is a gender difference, but that's not to say having 3 girls under 4 isn't a monumental challenge for you! But, oh what fun!! Hang in there! 🙂

    I have three girls too, all four years apart. My girls can be described exactly like yours. My oldest, is the drama queen, but very motherly, maybe too motherly. My middle is so rough and tumble. She loves to jump off things, cause havoc, but she's the sweetest little nugget! My youngest is just trying to keep up with them, she's ornery too and tries to get away with everything. I love having three girls!

Girls are definitely just as wild as boys, if not more wild! Our gal loves her princess gear but also loves bugs and snakes (gross!).

    This was hilarious! When my sister and I were younger (we are a year apart) we would go in our room, lock the door and get into a full on fist, hair pulling fight when we were mad at each other. After that we would hash it out, open the door and act like nothing ever happened! We knew we had to do it quietly otherwise we would be grounded or scolded if our parents found us fighting. The things sisters do!

    Hahahaha I love this post and Blair is JUST like Harper. The world is ending just about every day. I swear when she tries to get her seat belt buckled she sounds like she's in labor. So drama! Maybe it's a first born thing?!

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
