Every day before nap time both Madisen and Miriam get to pick out a book that we read together and then after our books are read we sing a few songs together. Then it is time for Miriam's nap and Madisen's quite time.
Well, on this day, Madisen had a different plan. I had sent both of the girls up stairs to pick out their books and when I arrived up stairs Madisen told me that she was going to read Miriam her books today (this from my 4 year old who can not read yet) and sing her songs with her. After consulting with Miriam to make sure this was ok, I headed out to the loft were I waited until it was time to tuck Miriam in.
When I got the "ok, we're done" I came back in to find Miriam tucked in and ready for her nap. Upon further inspection I saw she did not have her blanket and was about to go find it when Maddie told me that she wanted to get it. I gave Miriam a hug and kiss and watched as Maddie brought Miriam her blanket and gave her a hug and kiss and said "sleep good Miriam, I will see you when you get up". With that Madisen left the room and went down to the playroom to start her quite time.

How sweet to see such responsibility coming from the older sister. :) Thanks for sharing that cute story!
Such a sweet thing... this is one of the reasons I love blogging/journaling - stopping to record those little things that can so easily be forgotten. :)
Sending my love to your precious family.
