Big Sister Practice

I wanted to share this little story with you guys. If this is any indicator as to what type of big sister Clara will be, we certainly are in for a treat.

The other day we were swinging on her tree swing in the backyard. During a break, when I was sitting on the patio chair, Clara came up and said "Baby's turn to swing". So, again, lifting my shirt to access my belly button, she stuck her fingers inside and "got baby". She was so cute and careful. She walked all the way to the swing, cupping her hands gently and talking to "baby" saying, "you swing, your turn". She sweetly set "baby" down on the swing, told it to hold on tight with two hands and proceeded to push the swing. She was even saying things like "wee", "you having fun?" Then, out of the blue she was done. She left "baby" abandoned on the swing in pursuit of another adventure - picking dandelions!
