Sisterly Love

This evening while I am making dinner the girls are playing rather wildly. Then I notice it is awfully quiet. This makes me wonder what are they into that they are not supposed to be. I knew I had left a bunch of buttons and such out for a sewing project I am working on. Well what did I discover but the girls snuggled on the couch peacefully looking at a book together. Awww.

And another scene of love. Edith had fallen asleep in the car. Addie was then holding her hand and decided to pretend to be asleep herself. What a wonderful thing it is to have a sister. I know I will always treasure my own and I see that these two girls will have lots of memories together as well.

Love and Marriage

This morning when Addie and Edith came to snuggle we had the following conversation.

Addie: "Edith and I are going to get married when we are bigger."

Me: Oh. Who are you going to marry?

Addie: Each other. Sometimes when the parents have two girls or two boys they marry each other. Like me and Edith, and Ross and Josh. Ross and Josh will get married when they are bigger. Me and Edith will get married.

Me: Dad and I don't have the same parents, why are we married?

Addie: Because you love each other. People get married because they love each other.

So I guess this was Addie's way of telling me she loves Edith. So sweet.

Sisterly Love

Both girls are getting better and better at playing together every day. Finally. Now sometimes I can accomplish small task without having to referee every 10 seconds. Addie enjoys reading Edith books and helps her point to things in the I Spy books. Edith loves to whisper "Hi" and have Addie whisper it back to her over and over. Quite cute. Addie has also been helping get Edith dressed some days which all three of us find quite hilarious. Edith also says "I want Addie" over and over again if she feels Addie is not paying attention to her at dinner time. The two are becoming such a loving team. I do wonder what mischief they will enjoy together in a few years though.

Here Addie is making sure Edith has her sunscreen on. The top picture is what I call the "Earth and Moon dance." Edith is the earth spinning in a circle and Addie is the moon running around her in a nice orbit.
