Yesterday E. walked up to A. and told her a secret. She cupped her hands over A.’s ears and A. tilted her head up so sweetly and listened so intently. I was torn, it was the most perfect picture and so wanted to grab my camera, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment so I just sat and quietly watched. It is a picture forever burned in my brain, though.

I could only hear “psst, psss, psst…” but then A. looked up at E. and they both laughed like it was the most delicious secret ever.

I asked, “what are you guys whispering about?”
E. giggling said, “nothing, Mama,” and ran off into the other room.
Then little “Polly Parrot” also said, “nufin'” and ran screeching after her big sister.

It reminded me why I really was hoping E. would have a sister someday. Someone to share her secrets with and someone who would always be her best friend.

Although, they were playing dollhouse after that, and this was the scene I ran across…

Are they plotting to overthrow the management? Or maybe just make Mommy crazy enough that she will jump from our balcony?
