Wesley has the best big sister ever...

I always tell Wesley how lucky he is to have a big sister like Kate. I tell him that not all big sisters are as sweet and loving as she is. I do this for two reasons -

1. because its the truth! if Kate were a girlie girl she probably wouldn't find him so much fun but she does. She loves getting dirty, she loves wrestling with him, she loves every bit of it!

2. because its the truth! and in an attempt to make sure that Kate never felt shafted once her little brother came along we have always made it a priority to let her know how lucky Wesley was to have her (a ploy to build her confidence but also made sure there weren't any gaps since they were different genders and may not have as much in common as they grew older).

Here are a few pictures that express how wonderful of a big sister she is....and just for the record...we do stress to Kate how lucky she is to have a little brother like Wesley who thinks the world of her (and lately we've stressed to Kate that Wesley is not always going to be smaller than her so she really needs to watch out when she bosses him around...b/c he will be bigger than her someday...and he has a really good memory!)

Kate reading a story to Wesley (it really provides me some relief b/c he wants to read a million books each night)Kate feeding Wesley some rice crispies cerealKate finishing spaghetti and Wesley keeping her company....and the story behind the PJ's...Wesley really wanted Kate's tinkerbell nightgown but she wore it so (in an attempt) to make him happy I let him pick out some other PJ's of Kate's.....the minute he saw George the monkey he was in love...he did not care that they were pink PJ's...and they fit him quite nicely....now we will proceed to destroy this photo or Dad is going to have a heart attack.
