We love to read books around here. We read lots and lots of books. Recently, we read a book that mentioned a secret admirer, and Staley was immediately intrigued. She decided that she wanted to be Adelie's secret admirer. She made Adelie a card, and then decided that she wanted to make her a diorama. (Which was another idea she got from one of our books.) Staley spent her rest time over several days working on her secret admirer gift, and finally finished it yesterday. She hid it in the pantry and couldn't wait for Adelie to wake up from her nap to show it to her.
Adelie was a very enthusiastic recipient. She loved her diorama, using it to play with her figurines and mermaids. And although Staley is doing her best to keep the "secret admirer" thing going, it didn't take Adelie long to figure out who made it for her. Secret or not, I love the way Staley wanted to do something so special for her sister. I love the way Adelie was so pleased with her gift. And I love, love, love the love they have for each other. It makes my heart so happy!!
