While Drex was making breakfast and I was doing damage control on the insurgence of last night’s dirty dishes, Sonya got Eewie set up on a stool in the kitchen. (That’s her nickname for Eeyore now— Eewie, and sometimes Eewie Bean, like Leena Bean). Sonya sat down next to Eewie and informed me that I could take a picture of them.

Then I thought— whoa, like, this would be a mega-great opportunity to attempt that elusive, in-focus, side-by-side sister photo.

So the girls are both in their pajamas sitting on plastic lawn chairs we bought from Dollarama two years ago. The perfect photo, given those constraints, would be a splice of these put back together. But the series of pictures provides an excellent case study for (1) how Sonya’s face evolves from a smile to a grin and (2) how Leena the up-for-anything baby starts to wonder what’s going on.
