Bear spent a lot of time playing pretend as well. She loves wearing hats and cooking in her kitchen. She also played with her new train set and built a lot of block towers with her Papi (my dad). She loves being a big sister, kissing her brother and petting his hair.

  1. Wow - Bear had a lot of things accomplished. It's great that she is such a good big sister. I hope that your parents will stay for a while to give you a chance to rest and settle down.
