Siblings

Overheard in the bathtub this morning:

Miss: (whispering) I really love you. You know, I really love you.

Master: Goo-ga-da-da-da.


Overheard in our car later today:

Miss: Hi boy! Pfffffttttthhhh! Pffffttttthhhhh!

Master: Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, ha-ha-ha-ha! (Head tilted back, dimples fully displayed)


Overheard in our home this evening:

Miss: No! NOOOOOO!!!! Don't touch that! NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Master: Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, ha-ha-ha-ha!


Since we arrived in Minnesota, the little peanuts have been interacting quite a bit more. Without as many other adults available to serve as playmates, Miss has taken to playing more with her little brother. They roll around on the floor together. They laugh hysterically at each other. She hugs him, kisses him, and nearly strangles him with demonstrations of affection. We have yet to see how the relationship between this brother and sister will play out in the coming months and years, but it is a sweet and adorable thing to behold right now. There are the occasional moments of jealousy and anger, but, for the most part, the two of them entertain each other (and us) throughout each day with their enthusiasm and silliness. I sometimes wonder how their relationship will develop, but, for now, I just try to enjoy this stage of laughter.
