Sisterhood

Today, when unbuckling the girls during preschool pickup, Lila Grace grabbed Savannah's Bunny from her car seat and yells, "Anna!" She hops out of the van and walks very purposefully (holding my hand of course) to the school's door. Once in the basement, I let go of her hand and she ran right for Savannah's classroom. She got a bit confused and poked her head in the wrong door and then was thoroughly confused by the door being shut to Savannah's class. She ran around the large room and looked in every classroom in hopes of finding her sister. Once the door to Savannah's class opened, Lila darted in and handed Savannah her Bunny. She was so proud. She can be so sweet.
Even better is watching the two of them navigate the parking lot hand in hand. Lila behaves much better for Savannah than she does for me.

Heaven Post 2,398 - or so it seems

As we were driving to preschool this morning Savannah asks me, "Why is daddy older than you?" I told her that he just is. Well, that wasn't good enough so she answered her own question with, "Is it because he was in Grandma's belly before you were in Grammy's belly?" "Yes," I say quite impressed that she GETS it. Savannah then tells me that she thinks babies are actually BUILT in heaven and then put in the right mommy's belly. I grin and think to myself, "She is so stinkin smart!"
