Time With The Littlest One

Now that J.R is back in school, I'm really enjoying time alone with Baby E.M. She really is a very different child when her sister isn't around. She's quiet and snuggly, inclined to just sit next to me on the sofa and learn about things. Real temper tantrums happen less often now that she doesn't have to yell and scream to defend her rights as the smallest one. She's calmer and more thoughtful, preferring calmer roleplay games and reading books together to running around and shrieking.

This morning I captured a sweet moment. Baby E.M was sitting on the sofa quietly and contentedly 'sorting' her hair bands out, taking them out of the jar and carefully putting them back in again.

One by one.

I love seeing this side of her personality. Funny little thing she is.
