Anastasia Smith: 24, sisterless and searching.

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED that my baby sister-picking is turning more into just plain old baby-picking? Uh-oh. I guess hormones are running high. I think I’ll blame this one on my thyroid. But seriously, how cute is this baby!? And that hat!

THANK GOODNESS CAPUCINE NEVER STOPS being cute. She’s at the storytelling again (I posted her original animal tale back in November 2008), and I can see her recounting skills have advanced–so much dialogue in this one! She’s a budding writer for sure. And she’s got some interesting near-yoga moves there in the middle. To quote Madmoiselle Capucine, herself, “Wow!” ( 1:35)
Update: as of 5/09 this video is no longer private. Woo hoo!

FOR THOSE OF YOU who are craving some Capucine, here’s another video installment. Apparently, in the video above, Capucine is a little jealous that her brother lost a tooth, but she hasn’t. (Un petit recap of our Capucine story: after seeing a video of her recounting a tale about all kinds of magic and animals, I chose her as my very first ‘If I Were the Stork’ pick. Then, a few weeks ago, I featured a second video of Capucine talking about raising money to help school-children in Mongolia. She’s quite the star on Vimeo (her video archive here), and she’s a regular feature on her mother’s Tumblr site, Tralalère)

A WHILE BACK, I posted a video from Vimeo of Capucine telling a story about animals on an adventure. It was a big hit, so here’s some more cute Capucine overload. Not surprisingly, everyone loves her–that’s why she’s working to raise money for kids in Mongolia. You can learn more about her Edurelief efforts here. Now that’s some good sisterly behavior.

I AM A SERIOUS sucker for funny babies, and apparently I am not the only one, because this video has over 74 million views on YouTube. But in the bleak winter months I like to pull it up and just start chuckling. It’s actually not only the baby that gets me–it’s those silly European sounds that are coming from the parent. (American people don’t say things like “Plong!” that’s for sure.) Can you imagine if this was a mainstay in your home? That’s why this silly Scandinavian baby is my pick for ideal little bro (as long as he never grows up).

If only I had been given a little French sister with a propensity for outrageous storytelling. I think we would have gotten on well together.

FAMILY RESEMBLANCE: T and Anastasia at Tanglewood, 2007
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
