Bookworms

The Girl loves to be read to and she loves to read to Baby Sister. As you can see, Baby Sister loves it too. There's nothing sweeter than to watch the two of them interacting. The other day I was in the kitchen putting dinner together and Baby Sister started crying. Pretty soon I heard the Girl singing, "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away. This year to save me from
tears..." (We sang that chorus over and over during the holidays, as I couldn't remember any of the other verses.) The crying stopped and a few moments later when I went to check on them, the Girl was lying on the blanket next to Baby Sister still singing softly to her. I treasure these moments as I'm sure when they get older these tender interactions may be few and far between. As a big sister myself I know firsthand.
