For whatever reason, Julia tonight decided to not only join me as I read bedtime stories to Vivi, but to actually "read" those stories to Vivi - something the little had stopped asking for, it's been so long.
After getting all the preliminaries out of the way, Julia sat down with Vivi's favorite two books on her lap and Vivi sat down right next to her, folding her plump little hands in her lap. When Julia started to read (in a strangely booming voice), Vivi looked over at me, an arm's length away, flashed an enormous grin, and giggled with disbelieving delight. Translation: "Big sisters are awesome." I wish I had taken a picture to commemorate the epitome of sisterly love.
