It's always the best sound... all of a sudden, you hear giggling from the next room. To realize that both kids are happy and enjoying being together, making each other laugh... well, it's pretty much the most magical sound in the world.Daniel likes to read to Violet and she loves to oblige. Of course, he can't read yet so it gets pretty silly.
I just love that they want to hang out. Watching sibling love develop is even more fun than watching her parental attachment with us develop. This feels more like a miracle - more of an area where it wasn't necessarily a "given" if that makes sense. It could have gone either way, really.
And yet it's gone the perfect way. They are siblings - legally, of course - but in every other way too. Their love is as natural and nurturing as any brother and sister I've seen, and even more than some.
She reveres him, and he delights in entertaining her. They tickle and push and scream and jump and everything else brothers and sisters do.
He loves teaching her things and she loves scolding him when he's in time out. He races to greet her when he hears that she is awake each morning, and she squeals with delight when she sees him run into the room.
Happy siblings = Happy mommy and daddy!
