Brother and Sister (2009)

(Oh men, my kids are so grown up now, compared to in 2009 >_<)

They play, they fight, they learn– brother to be nurturing and share what he has (and expected to be, since he’s 5 years her senior), sister to learn to do the big kid things from the big brother, such as playing with “real” Lego and not swallow them (ok, she did like to “chew” on those little tires). In turn, sister learns to share too, and be considerate toward others (of course, still learning as a toddler..)

I’ll always remember how sweet the kindergartner big brother was – past the toddler/preschool age, he was able (and willing) to help mom take care of sister, and yet understood enough to not be jealous with her.

She’s his talking, laughing and moving doll that he pushes around the house in the doll stroller. Yes accidents happened-such as the time when they got too excited jumping on the bed--sister received three stitches on her head. It happened in a spit second, right in front of my eye. I still won’t trade anything for their laughter during play, though.

After taking thousands of pictures, I hope to have captured some of the brother/sisterly moments to show them when they grew up.
