My Big Girl


...is three years old! We had a ballerina/ princess party last week to celebrate and have much to report since then. She is drinking out of a big girl cup now (as opposed to a sippy cup), sitting in a big girl chair at the table, and (drum roll) wearing big girl panties! Here's a picture after her return from the garderie this week where she painted, and played, all in French! The most wonderful and challenging transition, of course, has been her transition to big sisterhood,but I have been encouraged this week as I have watched her playing with CG. The two of them giggling together melts my heart! We have been learning Genesis 12:2 together, "I will bless you...and you shall be a blessing." When we talked about all of the blessings that God has given us and drew a picture to illustrate them, SA wanted to draw a picture of her little sister, CG!

What a sweet darling! That is so great that she recognizes her baby sister as a blessing. I am praying that Seth will feel that way about his coming baby brother, but after keeping the church nursery yesterday with him and another baby boy, I am getting worried! Please kiss your girls for me.
Love, Sarah

Don't worry, Sarah, we will just keep praying. SA still has her moments as well. It is hard transitioning from the center of your mom and dad's universe. :) But we know that the long term benefits outweigh the shortterm difficulty. Love you! Kiss Seth for me!

She is so beautiful. It is very hard to adjust to a sibling. So glad she is adjusting. Three years old!
