One of my favorite things about having two children so close in age is watching them grow together and learn to love each other. At 1 and almost 3 years they truly do just adore each other. (I know this won't last so I'm soaking of up every minute that I can!)
Stephanie's new favorite thing to do is say "Hey Joseph, come play in my room with me!" He'll jump up and toddle after her and they'll spend time in there playing together. Or they'll sit down and read books together, Stephanie "reading" as Joseph looks on.
Since they share a room, they typically wake around the same time, but Joseph wants to get right out of his crib while Stephanie chooses to hang around lounging in bed. I go into the kitchen and make Joseph his milk, but he won't take it and walk away unless I make Stephanie's too. Once I do, he'll grab it out of my hands and run into her room to bring it to her.
Yup, not even 3 years old and she's already got somebody bringing her her morning milk in bed. (I wonder if I could train him to bring mommy her coffee in bed...)
Their childhood is rushing by so fast that I really try to take a moment and relish these moments. To pause and smile as I witness these acts of sibling love. They are so sweet together and I'm so happy that they love each other as much as they do.

Link on up, Ladies!
I see rare moments when my kids play nicely together. The rest of the time is filled with my oldest torturing the 3 year old and then she fights back! Hopefully you get many more years of the nice play! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha, I expect mine will get to that point, lol :)
DeleteYou're so lucky they play together! Brooke still has a hard time sharing her "big girl" things with "baby" Hannah. lol. For the most part- it works out fine though. I hope they start interacting with each other more soon!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely do see some of the "Joseph stop touching my toys!" but they really play together well most of the time. I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to fall and have it go the other way, haha
