Hanging Out with Her Brother

Today's gift is hanging out with her brother.

Early this evening after dinner my daughter walked into the playroom and sat on the sofa.   Her brother was in there playing Wii and she wanted to hang out with him.

It was the most precious and sincere thing I've seen her done in a while.  She didn't want to bother him, like she sometimes does, but truly wanted to sit and watch him play.

I let them have their time for a little bit, then I went in to join them.  We all hung out where my daughter wanted to instead of us telling her where to sit.  It was the perfect way for us to unwind from the day.

I love watching my daughter with her siblings.  She has a different relationship with both of them and they each help each other grow.  They get along, but they also have "typical" tiffs like "typical" siblings.  Siblings for my daughter have been the best gift to her!

Today's gift was one which is small, but one packed with lots of love!

Being a Bedtime Joker

Today's gift is being a bedtime joker.

My daughter was funny tonight!

As I was getting everyone ready to go to their rooms to relax before bedtime stories she was roaming around the upstairs.  Turning lights on and off.  Turning the faucets on and off.  Shutting doors.  And laughing.

When I told the kids to go to their rooms and to wait for me to come to read to them, my daughter went into her brother's room.  All of a sudden I hear him telling her to go to her room and you can't sleep in here tonight.  I walk into his room and sure enough she is in there.

In his bed....flipping through a book!  She definitely made herself comfortable!

She just laid there with the biggest grin on her face, like what are you going to do about it.  She was so cute I had to take a picture!

she moves so fast, sorry the picture is a little blurry!

I love how she knows just when I need a giggle.  She knew I needed a little gift tonight to make me smile and for me to know everything is going to be okay!
