- Aliyah's deep concern and worry for Hope when Hope had to go to ER to get a gash in her forehead glued. Aliyah was very upset and tearful while Hope was gone. She didn't really smile until Daryl sent us a picture of Hope's forehead all fixed up and glued. You could see the relief on Aliyah's face. Aliyah then had me take pictures of her making funny faces so that we could send them to Hope so that we could "see Hopey laugh" (direct Aliyah quote).
- The huge smile on Alityah's face when Hope called her from the ER to tell her she was all better and that she would be home shortly.
- How Aliyah ran out to the driveway right after the phone call to look for Hope and Daddy. And how disappointed she was when they weren't there yet.
- Aliyah's shrieks of laughter and pure joy when I did "spider swing" with her on her swing tonight. Huge smiles and beautiful, genuine laughter from my precious 2 year old that made Mommy smile with delight. :)
- Karys' huge smiles today - lots of them in a row - whenever I would start talking to her. Her smiles came so quickly today - huge, happy, open-mouthed smiles!
- Samuel's excitement to watch the Tiger game while holding Karys on his lap. How proud he was to hold his little sister!
- Hope and Aliyah's special quiet time together upstairs. They are usually in separate rooms for quiet time but today they had a special treat since Samuel was gone. They played so well together during their quiet time!
Days like today remind me just how special siblings are. And even though they fight (a lot!), they love each other and care for each other deeply. I pray that it will always be that way and that their bond with each other will only grow deeper and stronger!
