A Lap to Sit On

This afternoon I took the girls to a puppet show at the local library. They had the room set up for the parents to sit in chairs along the sides and back, and the kids sit on the floor in the middle. So we walked in, I found a chair and the girls found a place on the carpet. Molly seemed to decide her place was in Ava's lap; Ava was happy to oblige. Most of the time my kids are so close in age that they act more as peers and the age difference doesn't much show. This was one of the rare times that there was a clear Big Sister and Little Sister role. It was very sweet to watch my oldest and youngest enjoying themselves in such a sweet, sisterly way.
