Looking up, keeping up

Maggie loves her big sister and anything Zoe does is subject to Maggie’s giving it a try. Nowhere is that more evident than on the playground.

I didn’t get shots of the truly precarious attempts she made at some of the playground apparatuses because, well, she’s got me on my toes. But this should give you a sense of what I’m talking about:

All that’s to say that this girl has an adventurous little spirit and doesn’t hesitate to try something ("all by myself!") if it looks like Zoe’s having fun doing it. Mostly, Zoe’s a fantastic big sister, happy to lead by example and only asks for her “space” now and again. We’ve heard ourselves tell Zoe from time to time that mimicry is a true form of flattery. Let’s hope that explanation sticks in the long run.
