this was the scene at our house yesterday evening. while i was unloading the dishwasher and getting dinner started, ellie decided to "read" to her sister. it was quite adorable. d was in her papazan seat listening intently to her older sister. ellie was the star and d did not take her eyes off of her. i saw a lot of myself in d's adoration of her big sister- i used to stare at my sister heather in much the same way. ellie was amazing. she went through her entire bag of library books, making up stories, showing d the pictures and bringing much joy to her momma's heart. it gave me a glimpse at who she is. her gentle nurturing spirit shone brightly in my eyes and for a moment i paused to marvel at how full i feel these days. my cup runneth over! i should also note we were listening to the indigo girls (southland in the springtime)- they always seem to find their way into the cd player on those first few "spring is around the corner" kind of days. if you don't know the song, i highly recommend that you download it immediately:)
