Sisters

These two spend a lot of time together! Grace will take Everly into one of their rooms to play baby dolls or read books all the time. But, if Everly tries to nudge her way into playing with Grace's toys when she is in the middle of playing, boy is Grace upset! Most of the time, they are so funny to watch; Grace loves to boss Everly with lots of "no no Evuh-lee" in a singsong, sweet voice and Everly loves to laugh at her or follow her or push her away (and the same goes with Atticus). Anyways, I thought I'd post a couple quick videos of these two in everyday life:

A Video of everyday Everly

So, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while Grace is at preschool, Everly and I tackle the day by ourselves. Sometimes, I will go out and run errands and then come home in time for her to nap, then she is up again and we eat lunch and play and then go get the kids. Other days, we come home right away and play until nap, lunch, and play again. So, it seems like with only one kid at home, I could accomplish great things! I mean, she even naps for an hour and a half to 2 hours. And surely, she could play a little by herself while I work on the computer (the one thing I never seem to have time to do - bills, uploading pictures, blogging....) or go from room to room putting things away or cleaning or accomplishing little projects. But, in reality, by with those 4 hours a week, I end up doing the normal daily stuff and not accomplishing anything extra. Everly needs me and one day she won't, so we just play and play on these days. On this particular day, we had already played on my bed in my room and practiced kissing her baby over and over and I'd tickled her so much by walking my fingers up and down her little body, that she was exhausted from laughing so much. So, I put her on the ground and walked into the kitchen and she crawled and followed me. I got her baby so she could keep playing on the floor....but her whines came and I ended up on the floor with her. And then she was just hilarious; she played with the baby, crawled on me, waited for me to tickle her or peekaboo with her, and tried 100x to open the cabinet door. So, at one point, I decided to get her kisses for the baby on camera and it turned into a 5 minute video. So, here you go. This is not academy award winning and possibly nobody but me will love it so much. I also realize how much I talk; yikes. But, these are "the days of my life" and I truly love them so much. Oh and when you hear the Darth Vader sound from her, it was because she was really congested that day. It's amazing. This sweet baby has not been sick, ever. She has had two runny noses and fever only once and it was actually just the day after her 6 month shots. Anyways, here is the video!
