One of Elle's favourite things is Space. By the time she was 4 she could name all the planets, tell you the order and characteristics of each planet. She would sit in bed every night and look at her many space books that we got her. I didn't want to push this on Mia at all as i wanted her to be interested in what SHE wanted and not what i wanted her to like her sister. Last week, Mia went into her sisters room and bought me one of Elle's space books and asked to look through it with me. I was very happy too and i told Elle that Mia had asked me about space and that was it! Elle wanted to teach her all she knew and showing her all the planets and pictures in her book. I was secretly pleased as now i will have another space geek for a daughter and i have swapped her night Elmo books for a space book, just like i had to do with her sister when she was 3 years and 7 months.
"Siblings" is a monthly link up where myself and 9 other bloggers all share a photo of their children and then we each send you off to look at another blog. You can then go around in a circle, viewing all of the wonderful photographs and then why not link up yourself if you have two children or more! This month, i am sending you over to Kelle at Dinky and Dandy Her blog is packed full of children's fashion and photographs of her own little cuties!

Kitty is obsessed with space too and 'fact books' - "Have you got a fact book I can read mummy?"
ReplyDeleteThese are seriously cute photos, there's something about children sat on 'the big bed' that I always love, feels so unstaged and natural, like a peek round a bedroom door and a glimpse into your life x
I think Elle and Kitty could be the bestest of friends! Thanks darling. I had plans for autumn wood pictures but this scene just pulled at my heart :) x
DeleteHow wonderful that Elle is sharing and showing Mia her passion in space. Two future gorgeous astronauts!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful and it makes me so proud of Elle. She is always saying she will teach Mia her spellings and reading when she starts big school. She is such an amazing sister x
DeleteOh this is so lovely and how wonderful that they're both so interested in learning about space. It fascinates me too! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have loved getting to know all about it again too and i have learnt more teaching them then i ever did myself when i was young x
DeleteI hope your don't mind me linking. My children are a bit older, but I caught this moment of sibling affection on our summer holiday.
ReplyDeleteOh, of course i don't! Thank you for linking. This is such an amazing linky x
DeleteLovely! You can imagine them chattering away to each other from these shots. x
ReplyDeleteThey were and there was lots of giggling and ooooo's from Mia :) x
DeleteAww looks like they are having a lovely time together, sharing a common interest.
ReplyDeleteThey were, thank you so much x
DeleteYay for little girls that like Space - my Kitty loves space too - not so much stars and planets I think as spaceships and the effect of zero gravity; she's very keen on Chris Hadfield's YouTube videos of life on the ISS. I'm sure you'll have come across them but The Universe Rocks series of books are brilliant on space and planets - and they've got really cool simple science experiments in them too!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of your girls (as always), you've captured so beautifully the relaxed friendliness of sisterhood, sharing something that they love :)
Thank you for the tip on the youtube videos. I haven't even thought about showing them videos! I am excited for Elle to come home from school so i can show her some on them :) x
DeleteSo beautiful as always Kerri-Anne, I love the fact that their personalities really shine through in these and that they look like they are really enjoying each others company. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Katie :) It really does. I had plans of a lovely wood shoot but this scene was too wonderful not to capture x
DeleteMy son went through a space phase, and I can vividly remember telling him that he could take 8 books out of the library on space, as it didn't leave any space books for other children. Eventually he moved on - to have a new burning interest in dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteMia went through the dinosaur stage last year and has a whole shoe box full of them :) I love that they both love Space! x
DeleteAww, love it! I hope my girls share some interests as they grow up too. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will. I didnt think Mia would take after Elle but this week has really surprised me and i love it x
DeleteAww, these are so cute Keri-Anne. I have a space obsessed little man at this end, he loves telling us all the things he knows about planets. It's so lovely that your girls can share a genuine common interest in something. x
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! And so cute too. I don't think Cherry could even name one planet! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, looks very cosy! x
