Every little sister needs a Sophie...

Over the past week or so Sophie has given approximately 376 makeovers and 298 costume changes to her little sister GG. Making masks so she can be a muskateer, painting nails, applying eye shadow and countless other girlie things.

I hope that GG will one day realize how blessed she is to have Sophie.

Even with their age difference, I hope that one day they will be the best of friends. 

I don't think that's too much for a momma to hope for.

All For One and One For All!

GG's favorite movie right now is Barbie and the Three Musketeers. Now she wants to be a musketeer and spends her days running and jumping around the house and quoting movie lines.

Such as " All for One and One for All!" and "Don't mess with the dress!" and she is very into sword fighting.

So Sophie decided to make her a musketeer costume complete with cape and feather. She found my great-grandfathers old hat and fashioned it with a feather. Genius. Oh my goodness, this child was so proud of her outfit.

All I have to say is everyone deserves a big sister like Sophie.

Babysitting 101

Sophie had her first paid babysitting gig on Saturday. It was for GG, but it was paid. I did instruct her to not treat her like her sister. She was to treat her like someone was paying her to care for their child. Even though they are 10 years apart, they still have spats like sisters sometimes.  I left (with Shep in tow) to go to a baby shower for two hours. Cell phone in pocket. When I got home GG was napping and I had artwork to prove they actually did activities. Sophie painted with her. GG loved it. 

They did handprints. 

I just adore this girl.

GG told me all about it. 

"Sopie paint my hand"

" I got my bwue"

" I got my ornge"

"I got my yeyow

"I got my pink"

"I got my green"

The Whiting Girls

Waiting...

The highlight of this girls day. Her sissy is home!!

Sunny Days

We enjoyed a wonderful family day at the park after church on Sunday. We took a picnic and the kids played.

I try to steer G.G. to other parts of the park before she finds the sandbox. Once she's there, she really doesn't want to leave.

Since Sophie was with her, she was more interested in playing on other things.

Sophie is such a good big sister. She really enjoys playing with G.G. and takes such good care of her.

I'm a lucky momma.

Sisters

G.G. is a toddler on the go. She never really slows down. I never get cuddles like this.
She saves them for her sister.
It's ok though because seeing this makes my heart melt.
I love how they love each other.
