Little girl time

Fiona knows exaaaactly what to do when Nora isn't around. Nora, not so much. This first week of four with Fiona in morning art camp has been a bit traumatic for little sis. She kind of wafts around looking in corners for the person she knows isn't actually there. She says things like, "When I'm a gwown-up, I'll go to awt camp too. Like Fiona. Where's Fiona?"

So we've been doing some fun "little girl" things together-- swings at the park, trip to the zoo (check out the two cute kids in the photo!), bubbles on the front porch, peas in the garden. We have some library visits in store, and some other 1:1 time that we wouldn't normally get. I have to admit that it is, in many ways, a singular joy to experience our children separately and be able to enjoy them in all their endearing, quirky uniqueness. If only she weren't so at sea without her big sister...
