Siblings

I am amazed at the bond that can develop between siblings. I never had that. I only have one sister who is 3 years older than me. We never had a good relationship growing up. But what I am learning is that there can grow such a bond that is just awesome to watch happen.

My three almost four year old son and 6 month old daughter have such a connection. He has been fascinated with her from the day she came home. She loves him just as much too. Jordan will get down and play with her. He was the first to get her to laugh out loud. He is the one who can calm her when she is upset and Mommy's busy at that second.

When Emily is hungry and I am making a bottle and she is screaming, Jordan will talk to her, give her a toy, or be silly to make her laugh. She will calm down for him so easily. I'll ask one of my girls that are older than Jordan is and they will try the same type of things Jordan does but its not the same I guess. She will not calm down. But let Jordan come over and talk to her, pat her tummy, and play with her and shes happy to wait the few minutes until I get to her. Its like they were best friends before they came here to this earth, like they were sent here together to help one another.

I was watching them this morning and it brought tears to my eyes to witness the love they so freely share. Its in thier eyes when they are interacting. Its in thier grinning faces. Its in the words he speaks and in the giggles she replies. Its marvelous to watch.

I love my children and am happy that they get along for the most part. They have their fights as any siblings do. But over all they play well together and try to help one another. I am glad they are so close in ages because I think it helps with their bond. I am amazed at how different their personalities are yet they love each other so much.
