Diana came home and the first thing she noticed was that Maia had Bella propped up with pillows and was trying to teach her paddy-cake.
Maia was sitting cross-legged in front of her baby sister, trying to look patient. Diana wondered how long she had been doing this.
Diana walked over to her daughters, "Hi, honey." She leant down to kiss both girls on the head.
"Hi, Mom." Maia answered, still focused on teaching paddy-cake. She took Bella's chubby, baby arm in her hand and touch it to her other hand. "Paddy-cake," she switched arms, "Paddy-cake," here she paused, "I don't think she's getting it."
Diana smiled, "She's still very little. It will be awhile until Bella is old enough to do certain things."
"I just wish she would hurry and grow up," Maia looked at her mother, "I want us to be friends."
