eight.

week eight of fifty-two

Though they are close in age, there are many regulated separations between things that almost 1.5 year olds can do versus things that newly minted three year olds can do. One of those is the local kids-only storytime at our public library. I guess I should restate that.. Miss Ingrid would be welcome to said storytime if she sauntered in and sat quietly for a half an hour (even the thought of that makes me laugh sarcastically: sit? ha! half an hour? ha ha! quietly? ha ha ha!). However, the last 5 minutes of storytime is a much anticipated puppet show. Miss Ingrid can find it in her antsy pants to sit peacefully and watch the puppets. I will point Amelia out to her, and Ingrid makes a beeline for her, plops down next to her, and Amelia introduces "this is my sister Ingrid" to everyone around her.  Be still my heart. 

It always surprises me how much they seem to miss one another after a 25 minute absence.

  1. I love this!! Such precious moments seeing your girls love each other! And I just adore that 1 1/2 year old antsy pants phase and the so mature and proud 3 year old!
