Sibling love. It's been melting my heart lately. It's the moments they share, unaware of being observed, that get me the most. Hearing the giggles as they run around playing together in another room, watching brother help sister up onto the bed, sister taking brother his coat and boots before we leave the house...all these little things make it hard to imagine life before a River.
I love that these two little people have one another, and that I get to watch their relationship grow and strengthen every day.
Here are a few sweet moments of the week captured on camera by papa and mama. The last one is a repeat from my last post, but I love it so much I couldn't resist sharing it again.
Sure, they also have moments that are not so peaceful. Moments of anger and frustration. But these are also moments of learning how to work through and resolve conflict. Moments of learning patience and forgiveness. Moments of learning how to be a family.
And, at the end of the day, through any frustration that may arise...
They adore one another.
And I could not love them more.
