When Sophia was just a few months old and we talked about having another baby soon people were a little stunned – and that’s an understatement. Why would we want another time-consuming, money-consuming, wake-you-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-creature so soon after having one. We even got advice that it was not fair to your first child to have another baby before the first was 3 years old. Well we had many reasons why we wanted another baby so soon – but I see the wisdom of our choice most of all in how good of friends our girls are. They do fight over things on occasion everyday – but they also have the most tender moments that I sometimes catch on film digital picture card.
This morning when Ellie woke up we brought her into our bed to cuddle for a while. Often times she will just lay between us, other times she will crawl right into our arms on top of us. This morning when she heard Sophia awake she quickly lowered herself off of our bed and all I heard was quiet for the next 5 minutes. Very unusual. Our girls normally wake up with lots of energy. So, being curious, I got up and peeked into their bedroom. This is what I found.
They really do love each other more than any other siblings I have seen. They are not perfect and they do fight – but it never prevents them from still loving each other and having these tender moments. Giving Sophia a constant friend was the best thing we have done for her (besides of course sharing Jesus with her).
How precious!
Very cute! Sisters are the best! They’ll be life long friends.
Rachel likes to “lay” on Sarah and kiss her when Sarah is in her swing. I can’t wait until she’s old enough to kiss and hug her back.
Ahhh, that is so precious, and so are they.
Ok, missy. It’s been a long time! Update..pretty please.
