Day Twenty Five and Counting...

At one point today, Grace and I were having a cuddle (in the middle of the craziness of the preschool room), and I leaned in close and whispered that I missed her today, and Livie and Daddy, too.  She smiled and said that she missed Daddy, but couldn't wait to see Livie.  I was so pleased to hear her say so.  Olivia was exhausted (as usual!) by the end of the day, and wanted next to nothing to do with Grace.

If you look closely, you can see that Olivia is actually trying to slide down Grace to the floor, and out of her arms.  And all Grace wants is to hug her...!  She had just finished trying to tell her that she was her favourite sister and that she loved her.  Grace was quite upset with her after this shot, and decided she as done with me taking pictures, too.

To get her to smile for me again, I invited her to hang upside down for me on the couch.  And I certainly got my smile!

What is it about hanging upside down that so pleases my children - heck, just about anyone's kid?  Both my girls, from a young age, have loved to be tossed about, hung upside down, and swung around.  And it gives Jeremy and I great pleasure to indulge them in it!
