Expecting the Worst, Getting the Best

Every mom of two little kids knows that when you can't see them and can't hear them, you are about to find two little kids getting into a lot of trouble. Well, not this morning. Clark and Rivers had been out of sight for a little while but I could hear them playing together, so no problem. Then there was complete silence for a couple of minutes and I thought, oh great, what kind of disaster am I going to find them making. I went to face the inevitable mess and found two little angels sitting together in a chair reading books. What a blessing.
In fact, many times I find them playing really well together. Seeing them enjoy interacting together makes me so happy and proud. I hope they always get along as well as they do now. Clark has taken on the responsibilty of big brother whole-heartedly. He shows Rivers the ropes, he stands up for him, he kisses him goodnight and occasionally roughs him up a little.

[Yes, I know Clark needs a haircut. We are waiting for Auntie Kara to do it when she visits in October.]
