Bead Girl.

Ah, a girl after my own heart! A. has taken to stringing beads (though, it's been years since I've played with beads; there's a nearby bead shop. Maybe A. and I should head over?). Well, after one of her favorite play-bracelets broke. She settled into her project after dinner - as you can see, she didn't even wait long enough to wash her pasta-riddled hands!

A. kindly invited me to assist her while she mended her jewelry. I handled the yellow beads; she, the paper beads. All the while, she sang the song to one of her favorite shows: "What's gonna work, TEAMWORK! wHAT'S GONNA WORK, TEAMWORK!"And, all the while, little sister watched enviously, wanting to help big sister do her big-sisterly things.

Soon, E.! Soon! (Too soon, if you ask me. You're growing too fast!). As for A., her hardwork (and our teamwork) paid off: the bracelet was repaired and back on our girl's wrist in now time.
