sisterly love

Right now my girls have such a close relationship - I relish watching them play together and take care of each other.  Sometimes now Maddie asks to have Hope tuck her in for her nap instead of me! - which is so cute!  And Hope goes up with her, tucks her in, reads her a book, sings her a lullaby, kisses and hugs her - and believe it or not - Maddie then goes to sleep and Hope leaves.  I'm not ready to give that up for myself yet, but I love that Maddie adores her big sister. And I'm proud of Hope for caring for Maddie and doing such a great job.   I snuck in and got a shot of this yesterday - Hope had decided to climb into the bed with Maddie as she read her tuck-in story.
