It has been an interesting week, in many ways, with our fearless leader away at camp. For one, I miss her dearly! And for another, it has left my youngsters only each other to play with. And this is a new dynamic to us.
Although this middle girl of mine truly does adore her brother, she still clearly sees her big sister as the superior playmate. After all, young Hans does have the habitual tendency of "wrecking everything."
But this week, I have watched Marianne play and interact quite patiently with her little brother and it warms my heart that my two-in-the-middle are developing their own, unique and special relationship. (I guess maybe this type of camaraderie happens when one has no choice!)
(As for Hans....well he likewise adores his sister and seems to be quite pleased to be her only built-in playmate for the week!)
Happy Weekend to You!
Adorable images. Happy Summer to you. xoxo

So cute! I know when my two middle children are left alone (by circumstances) they are forced to work on their friendship. It's a good thing.
Had a fun time yesterday, need to do that again soon.
