Lots of people ask how SteelyKid is taking to having a younger sibling. Well, judge for yourself:
This is during the Giants-Falcons playoff game this afternoon, but it's pretty typical. When both SteelyKid and The Pip are home, she's always running over to give him kisses and hugs and chatter at him. She's super excited to be a big sister, and that hasn't changed.
Better yet, a few minutes after that first picture, she looked like this:
And, in fact, she's still snoring cutely. We'll wake her up soonish, but for now, we're enjoying the break from constant, exhausting motion.
Hope you and your loved ones are similarly cozy.

Long-time readers will remember that I used to do weekly kid-blogging, posting pictures of SteelyKid with a reference animal, Appa the sky-bison from the Avatar cartoon.

DADDY: So, what did you do at school today?
STEELYKID: Daddy, I'm a superhero. They call me Strong Ninja Girl. Strong World-Saving Ninja Girl.
DADDY: Because you save the world?
SteelyKid was born five years ago today. I'd try to be clever and schedule this for exactly five years to the minute of her time of birth, but I've mercifully forgotten exactly when the delivery was, only that it was early in the morning after a very, very long night.
So. Adorable.
I live reading these posts. Thanks for sharing
This are some of the sweetest pictures, ever. Thank you for sharing them.
Just how much she loves her brother: I offered to take her to the library, just the two of us, so we could spend some time together alone. When she realized that the Pip was going to stay home, she insisted that she wanted him and would not be dissuaded.
Those are some of the most adorable pictures I have ever seen.
My toddler approves of these pictures, with excited finger-pointing and audible if non-word comments. Heh.
T., I hope we are not giving your toddler hopes that aren't going to be met . . .
