Siblings

Ok, so I wasn't adbucted my aliens or savagley chased down by some wild turkeys at the library (don't laugh, this happened to Beth!) Now that Emalee is getting close to 2, I am learning to survive two toddlers. It's interesting, and we'll leave it at that for now. I'm not here to bitch about my job, on most days I love it, and I am totally grateful that I get to stay with my kids.

My favorite thing this week (maybe i should rename the blog) is watching the relationship grow between Emalee and Cayden. They are so funny when they are making each other laugh. Most of the time, they are even funny when they fight. I love the way Cayden is so protective of her when we go somewhere, and the way he always wants to speak up for her, and let me know what she wants. He's always quick to make sure she doesn't get left behind in a crowd. I love the way Emalee looks up to him, but not too much. She's definitely her own person, and can put her big bro in his place when he's trying to boss her around. She's going to be a tough one, for sure. She may be a little peanut, but there's a big wild woman in there waiting to come out.

Nothing warms a mother's heart like seeing her siblings looking out for each other. I'm sure this doesn't change no matter what age your children are. I think my hubby's mom would say she is still so proud when her kids (all in their 30's) are helping each other out or laughing over something together. I guess at the end of the day, there's nothing like Family, and watching the one within your own four walls develop is really a gift from God.

God Bless you all, and your own families too.
