Bedtime

One of my favorite times of the day is when the girls are bathed, in their pajamas and ready for bed. And, not just because that means mommy and daddy get to relax for an hour or two.

Recently, Emmy has graduated to her "big girl bed" and we snuggle in together and read books. At nearly age 3, Emmy's manipulation skills are at an all-time high. Many nights she'll snuggle up to me, give me a hug and during our embrace, sweetly say, "one more book, please, mom... I love you."

A few nights ago, the girls weren't feeling so sweet. They were fighting over books, poking each other in the eyes and being, well...sisters. It was so "normal." I grabbed the camera and started snapping photos.

Here they are, my sweet girls, being sisterly. I honestly didn't know if I'd ever see this day. And so, I'm ecstatic to be able to share them with you.







(My two stinkers, acting sweet!)
