The game

The big game that Charlotte invented is to have one of them wait at the bottom and the other one stand at the top of the slide. Charlotte calls out to Grace "Gracie! Are you okay? Are you okay, Grace? I'll come down and help you! I'll rescue you, Grace!" etc., etc., etc. You get the idea. Then, she slides down. And then... wait for it...they hug! And I forget all the fighting and whining and bickering and crying and all is right with the world. They switch roles, too. Charlotte sits a tthe bottom and Grace goes to the top and yells "Car? Okay? Okay, Car?" It is very cute.

Gracie at the top, getting ready to slide down.


The hug. Awwww!


Charlotte's turn.



Be still my heart.
