A new role for Big Sister

First it was helping with diapers, now it’s bedtime! For the first time, Zoe put her sister to bed the other night. She read Avery three stories, including one she wrote herself, before tucking her in and giving her a big hug and kiss. (I know because I was peeking through the curtains into Avery’s room.) Avery loved it – so much so that she requested Zoe during naptime the next day. And though Zoe had less success the next time she tried putting Avery to bed (let’s just say there was some hair-pulling, face-squeezing, and crying involved), I can envision a future in which Q and I are relieved of one of our nighttime duties!
