Over the past few years, Janae has had lots of fun playing with her big brother. She started life watching him play cars and trucks, then moved on with him to trains, dinosaurs, pirates, and Star Wars.
Even though she is a girl, she has never missed out on the fun. She knows all the Thomas engines' names, is looking forward to being old enough to attend "Dinosaur Camp," has her own pirate costume, and--most recently--loves to play Princess Leia, or even Darth Vadar.
The other day while I was changing Alaina, Janae came in humming the music from Barbie in the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and when I looked up, I saw that she was holding Benjamin's Batman action figure--he was twirling around on his toes and doing the splits.
Then last night Janae came into Ben's room for stories carrying the same Batman, only this time he was wearing a pink sparkly dress.
I started to laugh, imagining what it must be like to be Ben's little sister.
Then this morning Janae decided to try out her other sibling.
She brought me a princess dress and said, "Alaina can wear this one!" Then she brought a crown.
I thought the results were much better.
It's taking some time, but I think Janae is going to like having a little sister . . . maybe even as much as she loves having a big brother :)

Alaina already has the look as if to say "what are you talking about Janae", I'm sure they will have lots of fun once Alaina is running around and can really play. Very cute pictures :0) You didn't get a picture of the look on Ben's face when Batman came in wearing a pink frilly dress though :0(
My kids got a big kick out of Batman in a dress!! I love that last picture of Alaina and Janae looking at each other. It looks like they are getting to be friends. Before you know it, they will really be able to play together. Lets hope they don't fight as much as my girls do:(
