Siblings

 

Mr. P has fallen in love with his little sister and I couldn't be happier.  I feel so blessed that he has such a big heart.  That he can see what a beautiful blessing Miss A is to our family.  He is so excited to teach her new things, he loves to help out, and gives her numerous hugs and kisses everyday.  He loves to hold her, and when she is crying in the car he will sing to her.  (Often she will quiet and listen to him) 

 

 

My prayer for these two blessings from God is that they will always have this relationship.  Oh, I know they will have their moments of not liking each other.  They will pester and bug each other, and take each others toys, and probably even call each other a few names.  But at the end of everyday I pray they will remember to love each other unconditionally.  That when the going gets tough they know they can rely on each other to get through.  That they lend strength to the other one and can be their biggest cheerleader.

 

One of the reasons I did not want Mr. P to be an only child was because of the relationship I have with my brothers.  We care deeply for each other and can rely on and trust each other.  I know that down the road there will be times when we will need each others support and it will be there.  Oh, we had our moments of fighting and arguing growing up, but we always knew we loved each other, and were so proud of the other one when they accomplished something.  I pray that Mr. P and Miss A can have this same relationship with each other.

 

So far it sure appears to be going that way.  As parents I know it is our job to help foster this relationship between them.  I pray that mine and hubby's actions and words will guide our children to be the loving, supportive siblings I hope they can be.
