Sunday Snapshot: {Our Ever Helpful Big Sister}

8.30.10

Ashlyn: “Mom, I changed Lydia for you ’cause she woke up.”
Me: “What? You changed her? Really? The last day of summer and now you learn how to change her diaper???? Let me see.”

Lydia: “Yup, she changed me.”
Lydia: “What do you think? Not bad, huh?”
Lydia: “I can do the China squat still.”
Lydia: “And, I can walk around pretty good.”
Lydia: “Let me show you that squat again. I rock at it.”
Lydia: “Wait…not good.” 
Lydia: “Mama, could use some help here. Can you put the camera down?”
Lydia: “Ash, please. Mama’s just taking pictures of my embarrassing moment here.”
Ashlyn: “Oh! Oh no! Did that diaper come off? Here you go.”
Lydia: “I don’t know about this.”
Lydia: “Mama, not sure if this is gonna work.”
Lydia: “I’m feeling a bit insecure.”
Ashlyn: “Now, there you go. You’re okay.”
Lydia: “Okay…okay…I think we’re good now.”
Lydia: “Phew. Thank you, God, for my big sister. You can put the camera away now, Mama.”

Ni Hao Y'all

I’m tickled pink (with whip cream and sprinkles) that Stephanie over at nihaoyall.com picked my last Sunday Snapshot as her favorite. I’m doing a little happy dance (that won’t be caught in pictures). Gotta say–not surprised that my donuts and ice cream post was her favorite after I read her post about s’mores!

    She did a great job!

    Delighted to meet you! Hope you don’t mind if I splash around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a refreshing place to get drenched in some serious goodness.

    Splashin,

    Cute!!! My youngest (6 years old) keeps telling me that she really will help change her baby sister or brother’s diaper. We’ll see if that really happens!

    So cute! Lydia is such a great helper! Love the squat. We used to call it the “Kazakh squat!”. HA. Jake still does it all the time when he plays.

    That is so cute! You put a smile on my face with your captions! Sophia decided that she could change Parker all by herself too! Must be a big sister thing!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
