A Family Sunday

Today was a good day. The weather was warm and sunny, and Spring seemed to finally be around the corner, thank God.

I had to work from 10am - 2pm, and I arrived back home to find my family fast asleep. Em was crashed out in her bed, and Sophie and Chris were napping together in our room. It was really sweet to see Sophie snuggling so peacefully with her Daddy. After a somewhat bumpy start, they have become fast friends. I, of course, am not surprised. I know better than anyone how irresistible my husband can be. :)

After naps, we took the girls to the park. Emma slid down the pole by herself for the first time, and Sophie had her first go in the baby swing. She spent most of her swing time drooling and looking slightly dazed. We took these as signs that she enjoyed herself.

Sophie ready for the park! (With fingers in mouth, as always.)

Later, Emma and Sophie had an entire conversation with each other while Chris and I just sat back and watched. It is such a gas for us to see the girls interact. Emma is SO good with Sophie and loves giving her hugs and attention. Sibling jealousy has not reared its ugly head in our house...yet.

During bath time tonight, Emma told me that she and her friend Cup were not having a good day. They were sad. Apparently Cup had no family because they were all at work, and he was lonely. And someone named Canister, who wears a yellow shirt, was mean to Cup and Emma. But then Cup's Daddy came home from work, and they took a walk and waited for their Grandmas and Grandpas to come visit them, and then they were happy. Which made Emma happy too. Emma hugged and tickled both Cups before bidding them adieu until tomorrow night's bath.

The girls are asleep now, and the parental units are soon to follow. Goodbye Sunday. We had fun playing with you today.

Nice. I never knew Kitty Kitty over and over again could be so sweet. Sophie sounded like a cat herself.
