I worry sometimes about my kids relationship. They seem to fight SO MUCH! I know it is perfectly normal. My sister and I fought all the time, and we get along fine now. But I still worry. Do they fight more than other siblings? Am I doing anything to make it worse? Should I be doing something to make it better? Will they hate each other when they grow up?
Then one of them does something to show me how much they really do love each other.
Bubbles has a stuffed cow (Cowy...original, right?) that is her very favorite thing. It is her security item...her wooby. She doesn't like anyone to touch it. We have a game where I steal it when she isn't looking and hide it somewhere so she can find it. That is ok, but no one else can touch it...especially Animal!
Animal is sick today. Fever, horrible cough, lethargic. Miserable. When Bubbles heard that he was sick and staying home from school, she muttered something sympathetic and went about getting ready for school. As she was heading down the stairs, she wandered into our room where Animal was resting and placed her beloved cow on the bed next to him. She told him that Cowy would help him feel better today and he could keep it until she got home from school.
I know it seems like a small thing, but that right there? That's LOVE! And it made me so very proud.
That's my girl :) Did you know that TJ's bestie is a cow, too? It is called "Daddy Cow" cause Tim gave it to him before he went off to Iraq.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry the fighting will start again soon.
ReplyDeleteFighting is part of siblinghood. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I are the best of buds now. We have our children and are constantly reminding each other "remember when".
Thanks a bunch for visiting me on my SITS day!
