It has been long established that Zoe (i.e. Little Mommy) looks out for her sister. But Avery also has her sister’s back – as was clear on the ride home from school the other day. Zoe was upset when she learned we were out of muffins, and she got even more upset when I told her not to worry, that it would only take 20 minutes to bake a new batch. (“But 20 minutes is so long!” she cried, obviously exhausted and acting irrational.) Suddenly Avery piped up from the backseat. “Mom-my!” she said in a scolding tone and with a furrowed brow, “you are being mean to Zoe! Twenty minutes is too long! You are making her sad!”

Avery’s intentions were so sweet I didn’t even mind getting scolded (for no reason).
