Tess A Million Stars!



Tess A Million Stars! That’s what Henry calls her…her actual name being Tess Amelia Starr. I love that he calls her that. I was going to say that it’s so fun watching them together but then I caught myself with the thought that really it’s only sometimes fun to watch them together. I’m just being honest. They do love each other and the sweet moments are getting sweeter and happen more often. But they also both like their personal space! Tess gets really annoyed when Henry is over demonstrative and hugs her like he’s wringing out a wet towel. Who can blame her? Even though I personally love those bone-crushing displays of affection.

But one Tuesday night, after Henry’s soccer practice, was special. I couldn’t figure out what sparked Henry’s sudden interest in playing with his little sister, but I didn’t care. It. Was. Adorable. When Luke came in to ask Tess if she was ready for bed, Henry said, “No. She wants to play some more.” When she did go to bed, he said, “We’ll play after soccer again, okay?” Tess was loving it, too. She has started getting super excited to see Henry after school, and is really lovey and kissy with him. So, yes, I do love watching all of that!
