Sibling Love is the BEST!

Two days ago Riley had a melt down because I denied him his halloween candy dessert after lunch because he intentionally stepped on a toy of his sisters that she was trying to pick up.  We discussed what "on purpose" vs. "accident" meant and I'm not sure if he really grasped the point, but regardless his consequence was no candy after lunch.  The tears started and the cry fest began.  Poor Sissy didn't know what to make of all of it, but somehow she knew he was upset and needed some lovin'.  Her solution was to kiss him, hug him and pat his head to make him feel better.  It was one of my favorite moments as a mom.  To see her show him compassion at such a young age warmed my heart.  

Both of my kids are so sweet on each other.  They are each other's best friend.  I think Kendall is the reason Riley did so well with this move west.  He has a constant playmate.  The best part is that they both love to play with each other's toys!

This picture was taken yesterday of my two lovin' on each other again.  K is really into books right now and R is doing a great job of reading so she picked up one of her favorite books (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and sat in his lap and he read it to her!  

I have to keep these images in my head for those days where they are getting on each others' nerves as well as my own!  It's these moments that I need to cherish because siblings will argue and fight over the years, but in the end, they love each other and I hope they will remain the best of friends.
