Lorelai climbs into the bottom pantry and disappears. I call to Dave and say,
“Look. The baeby is going to Narnia”. This happened about a month ago.

Last night, she climbed in again, but Niki saw her this time. She calls out to me and says,

“Mommy! The baeby’s going to California again!”

today i had time to read a short story to the girls. the baby seemed to love it. she couldn’t stop smiling and cooing the whole time. i think she just thought i was talking to her since the book was above her head propped up against the arm of the couch. it was the cutest thing.

the story was about Strawberry Shortcake and her baby sister Apple Dumplin’. I didn’t even realize they were sisters until I had started reading it. So, nik and I pretended that they were nik and lorelai. it was lorelai’s (apple’s) birthday and nik (strawberry) was going to throw a party for her. she took her baby sister around in a wagon to gather supplies. they had a great time. the party turned out great.

i could totally see my girls doing things like that together. nik already does so much for her sister without anyone telling her to. i’ve just got to keep encouraging them to play together. hopefully i do things right.
