I love this photo.

E (11) walks little sis C (2) on a stroll through our neighborhood greenway on Sunday, along with their cousins J (8) and M (7).

(Yes, parents were following closely. No, we did not allow the three little boys to take a toddler to the park by themselves.)

Hangin’ together over the weekend while I napped.

That’s the question I am posing in my latest Babble blog post.

E was gifted with a bag of disgusting, sugary cereal this week – the kind we almost never have in our house, and this morning he deigned to share with his baby sister.

Notice how Leo (dog) keeps sniffing around, hoping one of them will drop some of the cereal on the floor…

At 7:30 pm, C asked to go to sleep. She does that. Her 13 year old sister and 11 year old brother decided to lie down with me and their baby sister while she went to sleep. Within 20 minutes, all three kids were snoring. Yep, they all went to sleep for the night. The older kids didn’t even wake up when we moved them to their own beds. They just stumbled up the stairs and went straight back to the Land of Nod.

I think they were tired.

MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. LITTLE SISTER ADORES BIG SISTER, AND BIG SISTER IS SUPER SWEET WHEN C FOLLOWS HER AROUND EVERYWHERE, SAYING “SISSY! SISSY!” OVER AND OVER.

H MAKES PROGRESS ON CREATING HIS DREADS 

C. loves to have big brother E. show her the Christmas snow globes. He’s very patient with her as she looks at them again and again and again.
