Driving Miss Dorian :)

Every day when we park the car, either at home to go inside or at a store (where ever), instead of getting out of the car we quickly climb into the front seat and pretend to drive the van. It is really annoying, but the first time she did it I thought it was cute and took pictures. She LOVES to pretend now. She pretends to fly airplanes in the house with her toys, she can make noises for her toys, and even pretends to play tea party. She pours out tea for everyone, making sure you always get a sip of tea. And hands out cakes for all to eat! Really interesting to see how much she has grown as a little girl from being able to simply drink her own tea to having an entire tea party with two to three people playing with her.

Dorian has gone from knowing that there is something wrong with Addeline to checking her diaper, patting her back/butt when she is crying, getting her a bib when she is drooling/spitts up, and making sure she has a bottle when she is fussy. Quite amazing to see her take care of her sister. Now don't get me wrong, when she wipes her face off she occasionally pokes her in the eye or is a little to harsh...buttt not the point. She is aware of her sister's needs and tries to help in any way she can. She likes to feed Addeline with a spoon and is becoming interactive with her through out the day in games. Dorian ALWAYS makes sure Addeline has a toy and is willing to share or trade toys most times.

The first thing Dorian says in the morning is "sissy"...she actually looks forward to seeing Addeline as a friend and not only someone that takes up mommy time. It is fun to see the change in our little toddler!!! And knowing that there is more changes to come will always make my life interesting!!!!
