The Attitalk Revisited

So this start of school has been particularly challenging as Ben has entered the last grade Ellie ever attended, 5th. And it occurred to me that quite soon her younger brother will be older than she ever was.  Once I am able to wrap my brain around the idea I will be fine. It's just the concept is so shocking. Wish I'd never thought it!

 Plus there are all those crayons on sale to not buy. Plus Lotta just started kindergarten and tells me every day how much she is missing me. Emotional time of the year. 

One week into the school year and things have simmered down a bit. It was a gorgeous fall day and Zibbi and I were hanging out at the capital after the farmer's market. 

Zibbi suddenly started, without any prompting from me, doing the attitalk.  The Attitalk was one of Ellie's favorite things. It is an attitude walk where you place your hands on your hips and walk like a model. With grace and style and attitude. Now Zibbi is carrying on the tradition and

working it like her older sister did.
