Sibling interactions

I have three books on the go at this moment. I can go for months without anything on my night table for reading, and then all of a sudden I have three at once. 

One of them is a cookbook- Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach, which is just a nice read with recipes made for our family..or so it seems. I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but I feel like I use similar ingredients, have a similar cooking style and overall philosophy about dinner as Jenny. Like if I wrote a cookbook about our family dinners, it would probably look like hers. You find a lot of good recipes when they all look like something you can and want to cook.

Anyway, pick up a copy from the library and if you love it too, buy one. It's pretty great.

The reason I told you that is because I'm too busy to write because I'm so busy reading.

I'm getting to this point with blogging where I don't have a lot to say because you really need to be a fly on the wall in our house to really get what goes on between these two stinkers. 

Their interactions are so hilarious, irritating and sweet and it's hard to convey across the screen. 

First interaction below...it seems "loving" on Wren's part, but she's actually purposely being a pain in the butt by squeezing Ellie's head off. 

Ellie will always loudly protest such actions taken against her. Or produce a hilarious face. Either/or.

Second interaction seems like a "sweet" gesture of love from Ellie to Wren. Wren is actually ready to hiss in Ellie's face for attempting to remove her kitty cat ears from her head. Taking off Wren's headband (of any kind) before she has given the okay (such as bath time when her hair needs washing), is like cutting off her arm or some other awful equivalent. The headband is a part of her. You can't eject your ipod from the computer prematurely, the computer has to give you the "ok". Likewise with Wren's headband. Do not remove prematurely.

The "I give up trying to play with Wren" face. 

These photos are now taken on a totally different day. 

What baby doesn't like to be naked? Ellie would like to know.

Have I mentioned before that Ellie will just throw herself backwards onto a seemingly soft surface at any given moment? 

Case and point below. Luckily it was a soft landing this time.

We have deduced that Ellie has two sets of butt cheeks. 

Please note exhibit A:

Lastly, Wren's cute eyes. They have nothing to do with anything in this post. 

She said to me "Mummy, you have brown eyebrows, but I don't." 

I said "You have blonde eyebrows, they are very light. Usually people with red hair like you have really light eyebrows." This launched a discussion about what colour everyones eyebrows are that she knows. Most conversations with a three year old usually go that way.
