Just taking a break.

Admiration.

Little sister watches big sister with glorification in her little eyes. Somehow, all of Marguerite's movements are so much more relatable to Colette. She is so focused on watching her that when she has to get dressed and you pull a shirt over her head, she screams while Marguerite's movements are out of sight. Colette must know that Marguerite's state is attainable - that she will become like that. We adults must just be like another breed entirely to her.

Marguerite.

Marguerite has arrived. Colette was asleep when she first got here, but the next morning, we all crept into Colette's room together when she woke up. She saw Marguerite and sort of looked astonished. Since then it has been smiles all the time for her big sister. Marguerite makes faces at the dinner table and Colette is in stitches. Cross-eyed Marguerite makes Colette pound on her high chair with applause. Basically anything Marguerite = jubilation.
