I snapped the picture Sunday night when we were on a little walk...Allie had asked me to take their picture, I told them to put their arms around each other...this picture speaks volumes to me and has quickly become one of my favorites..the location, the way their bodies are positioned...all off it. Perfection.
I've said before that I won't really sure WHAT to expect when we began this adventure 10 months ago...I anticipated a lot of growing pains and sad days...and I was mostly worried about how I could best support each one of our kids as they navigated the waters (no pun intended) through their emotions...One thing I didn't expect was how much they would rely on each other.
They of course, don't realize they're doing it...there are still plenty of fights and short tempered comments to each other...but they are so much closer than I could have ever expected at such a young age...
They play together...not just exist side by side...they talk to each other and hang out and share secrets with each other when they think I'm not listening....they're learned to lean on each other and support each other...and it's been amazing to watch it all unfold.
I didn't expect to see their relationship grow like it has...I guess I underestimated them and their emotional capabilities...I thought they would think only how this move effected them, but they've thought of each other the entire time. Shows what I know.
