Alice sat cross-legged on the soft rug, her attention wholly on her baby sister, Elodie The living room was bathed in the golden hue of morning sunlight, the kind that promised warmth and comfort

Alice"Come on, Elodie, you can do it!" she encouraged, her voice filled with the hopeful enthusiasm only an older sister could muster.

Elodie, with her chubby cheeks and wide eyes, surveyed the room Her tiny hands pressed against the rug, feeling its softness

She looked at Alice with a mixture of confusion and determination Alice"Just a little bit more, you're almost there!" Alice clapped her hands, her encouragement a beacon for Elodie.

With a small grunt, Elodie pushed forward, her movements awkward but determined Alice leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with pride

Each tiny shift was a triumph, and Alice"That's it, Elodie, you're doing so well!" she cheered, her voice a melody of encouragement.

Alice lowered herself to the floor, demonstrating the crawling motion with exaggerated movements Elodie's eyes widened, her curiosity piqued by her sister's antics

Alice"See, like this, Elodie You can do it too!" she encouraged, her voice filled with gentle guidance.

In a moment that seemed to stretch forever, Elodie shifted her weight forward, her tiny hands and knees moving in a hesitant rhythm

Alice watched, her heart swelling with pride as her baby sister took her first crawl Alice"You did it, Elodie

You did it!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing with joy and amazement.

As Elodie reached her sister, Alice enveloped her in a warm embrace, laughter bubbling up between them The room seemed to glow with their shared joy, a moment of pure, unfiltered happiness

Alice"I'm so proud of you, little sister," she whispered, her words a promise of love and support for all the adventures yet to come.
