A Princess Party & Some Sisterly Love

Julia had a birthday party to go to today for Avery. She has been so excited about going to Avery's "princess party" and the excitement doubled when she realized it was at the "cupcake house". Each kid got 3 cupcakes to decorate - 1 to eat at the party and 2 to take home. I'm pretty sure Julia used every "sparkle" (sprinkle) on the table!

Giving the birthday girl hugs

This sweet girl stayed at home with Daddy and napped while Julia and I were at the party. Almost everyone at the party asked where she was though!

 

When I was changing Charlotte's diaper tonight she was pitching quite the fit. Julia kept saying "Sissy, don't cry. It's OK." When that didn't work she started bringing her her toys and laying them next to her. 

I laid Charlotte in her bed while I was straightening up some things in her room. Julia insisted on getting in her bed with her so I put her up there for a few minutes. She took all her toys from her changing table with her and "introduced" them to Sissy. She would say "Sissy, this is your caterpillar" (glo worm) or "This is your turtle."

When I made her get out of the bed she found a book to read Charlotte. She couldn't see her face so she pulled the rocking chair up next to the bed, climbed up and read to Charlotte. She even turned the book around to show her the pictures when she was done reading each page. Charlotte hung on to Julia's every word. They are two sweet girls who love each other!
