I Love...

1.) That The Little Man asks when we are going to pick up his sister from school even though we are just pulling out of the carpool lane from dropping her off.

(It is a little sad.)

2.)When we pick her up in the afternoon, he is so excited to see her. He asks a million questions right away about her day, and is genuinely interested in her answers. He even has feedback for some of her dilemmas she faced that day.

3.) That The Little Man's first 3 questions are always the same when we pick her up: 1) How was your day? 2) Who did you play with? and 3) Did you have enough time to eat all of your snack.

Precious.

4.) On the days that I pick The Girl up from school first, and then we go pick up The Little Man from his school day, she acts the same way towards him. She even talks to him in a high pitched voice that is similar to when a grown woman talks to a small infant/baby.

5.) He doesn't even blink an eye at her high pitched voice. In fact he loves it, which is demonstrated by his sweet smile, big hugs, and enthusiasm to share his art project and all the details of the day with her.

6.) That as soon as he is done sharing his day with her, he immediately asks her about her day.

The same three questions first.

7.) To look at those tiny little shoulders and bony little arms all tied together with a slight pot-belly because it reminds me that they are still little babies (OK kids...I know they are kids now, not babies).

8.) That they just have to look at each other for a split second before they burst into laughter...about nothing.

9.) That they have each other.

10.) The absolute blessing that has been given to me to be a "Stay at Home Mom" so that I don't have to miss a single ounce of any of this.
