Learning to Share

I wish that I could have captured this entire sequence on film, but basically, Elizabeth grabbed Emily's hand the other afternoon and said "Come on, Emily. Let's go upstairs and play." And so the two of them toddled through the house, up the stairs (with Elizabeth carrying Emily's baby), and just played in THEIR room for 45 minutes, while Lee and I relaxed downstairs. It was amazing. Emily loves being in the same room as Elizabeth and it is really starting to seem like Elizabeth likes having Emily around as well.

"Reading" from Emily's stash of books. Although we are moving into longer and longer stories with Elizabeth, the reality is that she knows many of the shorter stories by heart and enjoys "reading" them to herself and to Emily.
The girls read together.
