Sweet sister moments

It’s been, admittedly, a bit of a rough week: we’ve been recovering from illnesses, Avery hasn’t been sleeping well (which means we haven’t been sleeping well), and my work is a little crazy right now. But there were two moments this week that made me forget (at least temporarily) about my troubles. First, Zoe was dancing and jumping around the other night, and Avery, perched on her dad’s lap and watching the scene, suddenly burst into laughter. These were big-time giggles (that continued until Zoe stopped dancing), and this marked one of the first times Avery laughed over something her sister did. I couldn’t help but smile at the cuteness. Then this morning, I woke up to Zoe’s little voice saying to me, “Excuse me, but Avery’s crying.” I told her I would be right there, and Zoe promptly went into Avery’s room to tell her, “It’s okay. Mommy’s on her way.” What a way to start my day!

    This is so sweet. Caring sister, rather then jealous sister, at that age is rare. You are truly blessed.
