Not much more can make a Momma happier than watching her babies lovin' on each other. Maggie and Henry are at a really sweet age right now. Sure they have little tiffs here and there, but they really do enjoy one another. Henry is constantly following his big sister around and Maggie is usually very nurturing and motherly towards Henry. He was feeling a little under the weather today, for example, and Maggie started rubbing his back and said "it's okay buddy, we love you." And, then later Maggie was pretending to "sleep" on the living room floor and Henry came and laid his head against hers. My heart just melts during those moments. It almost cancels out the toy snatching entirely...almost.
I plan on re-reading this post when my kids hit early elementary/middle school years and are constantly fighting, like my brother and I did. But, my prayer is and will continue to be that the Lord comes back before adolescence hits.
Our pumpkin this year is the cowardly lion per Maggie's request. We have a wizard of Oz theme going this year all because my sister loaned us her old lion costume (or rather Brodys) for Henry to use. I wanted the kids to match and so I made Maggie a Dorothy dress, and convinced her that there's nothing better than being Dorothy for Halloween. The red sparkly shoes did most of the persuading and have been on Maggie's feet almost every single day since they were purchased.
