At almost 4, Amanda has stopped taking naps. The last few times we tried she ended up lying in bed quietly talking to herself and playing with her little toy animals, so I decided she was ready to give them up. It’s a bittersweet milestone, but Eva certainly enjoys having Amanda to play with in the afternoon instead of trying to occupy herself until her sisters wake up. She gets crankier in the evenings, but she falls asleep much more easily at bedtime and is waking at night far less frequently.
Lately the girls have been wanting to watch video clips and slideshows of when they were babies. Amanda has picked up on “when I was a little baby, I used to…” mantra, and loves to explain how much of a big girl she is now compared to then. She sees Eva writing and drawing and tries to imitate her, but she’s got her own creative flair and pushes back against her big sister if Eva tries to tell her she’s “doing it wrong.”
