Clarissa Days

I worked from home today and caught this cute scene:

Twice per week (Tuesday and Thursday) Lily has a Clarissa day. That is to say a day when I’m working and the other kids are all at school. Lily has been really throwing herself into giving Clarissa attention on those days. They play together, practice numbers together, read together (Clarissa is progressing) and just be with each other. I can tell these days mean so much to both of them. When I put Clarissa down at night on a Clarissa-mommy day, I’ve noticed she’s likely to cry for Lily and want “mommy” to put her down. Lily also recently told me Clarissa makes her smile every day.
