we had our carpets cleaned today. so while jb was at school, dylan and i, with the help of some friends who just happened to stumble in at an oh-so-convienent time, moved furniture, picked up animals, boxes of legos, wooden food and any other non-heavy object piled and on top of beds or moved into the kitchen. the house is in complete disarray!
besides all the laps around the room and the several games of tag, the nice thing about an empty room is the unexpected snuggling that occurred. after the exercise and snack fuel-up, the kiddos hunkered down to watch a movie. bulldogs and big kids, baby tess in her room fast asleep. i sipped a protein shake and read on my kindle.
moments like this could not be more rare.
they are best of friends and worst enemies, all wrapped into one. they smooch on the lips and say, we just got married! and then turn around and dylan someone drops the you're ugly-bomb. they cuddle and then dylan someone moves too swiftly, and they're wrestling and attempting to pull each other's hair OUT and {or} push each other's eyes IN. they share with a sugary-sweet, oh, here you go, it's your turn! and then dylan someone is running laps, just out of reach.
and despite all the refereeing, the best gift you can give your child is a sibling.
