Recently, we've reversed our morning commute.
Now, Monkey and I take Jellybean to her school and drop her off, then make our way back up to our neighborhood to Monkey's preK class and then I'm off to work. It saves time, and now that Monkey is truly settled into her new school, it isn't too hard on her to visit - and then immediately leave - her old school. (even if she STILL won't talk to her favorite teacher Jenna - I guess some old habits/grudges/love affairs run deep. stubborn kid!)
I love watching Jellybean after we drop her off. She runs into her room, zooming about to check out any new books, and settles into her "morning work"so happily. She's a joyful joyful toddler - full of humor and love and hugs.
But even better? Is watching Monkey watch Jellybean.
Often, Monkey will lean on a low bookshelf, cupping her chin in her hands, smiling as she watches Jellybean. She loves her little sister as much as I do. And that is saying a lot.
Then, moving on from that peaceful respite, our commute recommences. And monkey says goodbye:
"bye Jelly jelly cocopuff!"
Yup, it's official; Monkey has started giving her little sister nicknames. I love these two.
