Yesterday was yet another gorgeous spring day so the girls and I took a short drive to a special partk (not our reguar one) for some extra good playing. A few minute after we arrived a kindergarten class from the school across the street came over for recess.
Mae was in heaven. She loves big kids and immediately started following them around. Eve continued to do her own thing and occassionally get frustrated as the big girls impeded this plan. After awhile I noticed one girl in particular was playing with Mae.
They were chasing each other around, playing follow the leader, taking turns on the slide, swings, stairs. And then, in a moment that melted my heart, Mae, in her two year old attention span, lost interest and began playing with Eve again.
A very plaintive cry was heard from the top of the slide tower, "Little sister, where are you?" It was repeated twice before Mae seemed to recognize it was meant for her and came running. And so they played together for the remaining ten minutes.
In the day since we returned Mae has now added this phrase, along with a shrug of the shoulders, to her repetoire, which is, in all honesty, quite adorable.
And she IS the little sister, by a whole two minutes, so it fits. :)
