It’s happening…slowly,
but surely, I can see it, a relationship developing between my 2 little
ones. Ella is 11 months now (adjusted to
9 ½) so she is very engaging and playful.
Brayden has taken notice to this so he has started including her when we
play. *So sweet to watch*
It’s the little things I am noticing more and more. If Ella starts to whine, Brayden grabs a toy
and hands it to her. Sometimes he just
sits down next to her and talks and shows her some of his toys. He has started showing her how to use some of
his old toys that we have pulled out for her.
He will sit and play tea with her, pouring her cup after cup and talking
to her the whole time. Ella just looks
at him with the biggest grin – I imagine her thinking “he likes me, he really
likes me!” Anytime Brayden shows her attention, she is just smitten. Of course there are also the times where he
takes what she is playing with and doesn’t want to share so nicely, but once we
intervene he seems to get back on the right track.
Now he doesn’t play with her all too often but when he does,
I stop what I am doing to just watch. I
take it all in and see that the 2 people I love most in this world are
connecting, building a sibling foundation that I hope continues to grow only
stronger over time. My wish for these 2
is to be friends, have eachothers backs, be kind to one another, learn to fight
and be able to make up, to love eachother unconditionally. Yes, this what I want so badly for them. I know I can only do so much and I just pray
that their love and friendship blossoms and they grow up actually liking
eachother
