I've been thinking this is pretty great for a while, but it's reaching new heights lately. My kids absolutely adore each other. If Sydney walks in Elias' line of sight, the boy lights up--kicking, arms waving, grinning, talking.... Sydney pretty much wants to love on him constantly and I am often asked to put him down or sit down so I can hold "two babies." They play together on the play mat. They laugh at each other while I bake and cook. Does it get any better than your two babies giggling at each other while you make something yummy? ahh. I wonder how long this will last.
Today I asked Sydney who her very favorite person was. Her reply: "Um, Baby 'lias, me, Mommy and Daddy." I wasn't expecting a ranked list (or maybe we all tie?) and I can't decided if putting herself in the #2 spot is a sign of selfish or selfless ness. Either way, it was precious. I will probably have to remind her of this in a few years. or months. For now, they are priceless together.
Elias, obviously thrilled with the honor of holding Binkie Baby.

So, so, so sweet! As an only child, the sibling bond constantly amazes me. The good news for you- my kids (9,6,3) are fiercely protective of each other. Yes, they have their moments, but I would definitely say they are the best of friends. It's awesome.
Thanks for the encouragment, Sarri! I am hoping their affection lasts a long, long time, even when sharing comes into play.
This is so very sweet!
