Olivia Grace played by herself for much of the day but decided to include Carter when it came time for dress-up. She did try to choose clothing that was not specific to a particular gender. I tried to put a pair of her dress-up shoes on him and she quickly told me, "a boy can't dress-up in girl shoes". Oh, sorry!!
He is pretty laid back and will do whatever she wants him to do (which is good because, remember, I said she was a bit bossy). He looks at her with those big, brown eyes and smiles no matter if she is...
dressing him up,
feeding him her pretend baby doll food,
pushing him down the hall in his walker as she pretends they are on a ride at Disney World,
helping him play her Hannah Montana keyboard as she plays the guitar so they can "make a band",
checking his lungs and heart with her stethoscope like the pediatrician does,
fixing his hair with her hair clips,
pretending to read him story after story as he sits and glares at her as if every word were meant just for him...
He just looks at her and smiles the most precious smile - and as I watch them, I realize just how precious the sibling relationship can be. I pray that they continue to have the relationship that they have right now...that he always looks at her like he did today - in amazement at his beautiful, big sister - and that she always takes care of him just as she has for the past 6 months.
