Best Playmates

Even though I break up and negotiate many sibling contretemps in a day, John and Mary really are best playmates. It warms my heart to witness. Today Chris took John on an errand and, while out, bought him a little frosty at a fast food restaurant. Later, John asked if they could go back and buy one for his sister at home (which they did do): making sure she has the same treat he has is something I've seen him do many times. I enjoy listening to them talking to each other as they fall asleep at night: tonight I was walking down the hall when I caught John getting out of his bed, but he did so just to cross the room and kiss Mary on the nose, then go back to bed--and I couldn't scold him for that sweetness! 

Hiding in a new toy box Daddy assembled for the sun room: It's all fun and games until one sibling climbs in and the other siblings closes the lid and sits on top.





The thumping sound you hear in the background of the video is the roofers replacing our neighbor's roof.
