I was driving the kids the other morning and glanced in my rearview mirror. Sadie was putting her hand over Mordecai’s face. He had been crying on and off as we drove.
“What are you doing sweetie?” I asked Sadie.
“I’m using my hand to block the sun from his eyes!” she replied.
Once we got to a red light, I turned around and saw that she really was using her hand to shield his eyes from the sun. How sweet is that? By that point, he was all smiles. I love their relationship!
I took the kids to Phipps Conservatory with my mom this week and we all had such a nice time! Phipps is like a giant greenhouse and botanical garden in downtown Pittsburgh. I think the last time I was there was ten years ago!
Every night, Sadie asks me to read Night Night Pittsburgh to her and she is always interested in the different landmarks. I told her all about Phipps and the butterfly room (yes, there’s a room filled with butterflies!) and she couldn’t stop talking about going. So we made it happen! The photo below was Sadie’s face when we parked and I told her we had arrived.
Pure excitement!
