Our Sister is becoming a little girl

Okay - this obviously isn't Sister, but I just had to post Brother's recent injury - the day after he ran into the TV stand and gave himself the goose egg and scrape on his forehead, he smacked himself in the eye with a toy giving himself a black eye.  I tell you - it must seem that I don't pay attention to my child - when really I pay extra close attention to him because he really has no fear.  Ugh... I'm sure there will be many more injuries in the future...

On to our little girl...
This week I've just been in awe of her.  She is suddenly a little girl and no longer a toddler.  My heart is a little sad, because she's growing up too fast, but I'm also excited to see the person she will become.

She's really into drawing and trying to write the word for her drawing.  No help here- she drew a polar bear and wrote the word zoo by herself.  (Yes, non-Alaska folks - we have polar bears at the zoo!)  You can frequently hear her making letter sounds as she attempts to write the word.

She also enjoys reading to her brother.  We've been encouraging her that even if she doesn't know the words, she can use the pictures to tell the story.  Brother loves when Sister will read to him.

She's not all academic - and definitely enjoys play time.  Such an imagination these days...
She was so proud of how she decorated her house. 

 Of course dressing up is one of her favorite things to do. Here she is using her Mr.  Potato Head 's microphone to sing a made up song.

She certainly growing up too fast!  And not to mention physically tall too - I was amazed that a counter that she once couldn't see on top of she now just needs her tippy-toes to see what she wants.  
Love this little girl to pieces!!

Sister really enjoys pink things since Papa rarely allows pink - so when she saw the pink clouds this morning on our way to the grocery store, she said, "Mom- YOU HAVE TO take a picture of those beautiful clouds!"  I couldn't agree more...
