And a couple more...

the love of a sibling

Oh how I wish time would slow down. My kids are growing up so fast that it sometimes doesn't seem possible that they are little people with thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes. When did they turn into kids? They were little itty bitty babies just a few days ago it seems like. Oh the sadness in my heart :(
Oh but let me tell you, I love where they are right now. They are discovering their intense love for each other every day. Randall has loved Abigail since before she was even born. He has been a dream of a big brother. He has never been jealous, angry or mean to her in any way. He, in this sense, is perfect. They walk in the yard together and he helps her over the sticks or rocks. He runs into her room when we hear her in the monitor and yells "Look who's awake!! Hi stinker stinker poo!!!!" She squeals with delight. No one, not even mom, can make her smile like he does. I might be a bit jealous come to think of it...but they amaze me. There is something about their love for each other that makes this mom's heart insanely happy.
I sincerely hope their love for each other stays strong. A mom can only hope right?
