pals

Our extremely well-considered decision (ha) to have two children so close in age is paying off as they get older and more aware of each other. It's a lot fun watching them interact now - Finn is so sweet to his baby sister and Tess thinks that he's the funniest person in the world. She really can't get enough of his antics and is always trying to hug him. I took these photos a few days ago before school when Finn asked to hold her and she was so happy.

Finn's current bedtime ritual is to "fold out the sofa like a bed and watch Beethoven/Beethoven/Buddy the Elk (aka Elf)" and that's what we're doing right now, after the closest day to sleeping perfection that parents of a toddler and infant could ask for. Let's hope it continues...

So lovable.
