Andie's sister

Evan got to have a friend spend the night last weekend. They had so much fun. Non-stop trains and planes! Andie left the boys to play, as though she knew it was "a boy thing". She seemed ok at first, but I could tell that she was becoming down, not having a place. I called her to my room and gave her a pink crown and purple magic wand that I had bought for her a few days earlier. She was so pleased. I loved watching her face light up. She told me her name was Cinderella. She waved her wand a few times. Then told me she made a sister. She went on to tell me how she was going to take good care of her. I was really taken back that she created a sister. A sister! How sweet and how sad! I only entertained the idea for a quick second of truly giving her a sister. I'm sure she truly is wanting a playmate. She did help me realize that we always have boys over to play. I will be more mindful of her desires to play princess and care bears. Anyway, after she made a sister, she went into the boys room. She waved her magic wand over their heads and ordered them to be a chicken and a pig. "Now you cluck, and you oink." How I wish I would have known to have a video camera going!
