Girl’s Life

There is just so much cute going on these days. Every morning, Sophia wants to snuggle with her baby brother. And, of course, Ian doesn’t mind at all seeing as Sophia is his favorite person in the whole world. Really. Even though I’ve got this massively sore back from all the weird leaning and funky posture of breastfeeding and I’ve got these great bags under my eyes from the early hour feeding session, she is still the one he loves best. But I don’t mind. It’s really the cutest thing ever. And it makes my heart smile.

Today I told Sophia that I hoped they would be friends like this always. It was a mama being wistful, knowing that far too soon Ian will be old enough to swipe toys away from his big sister or tattle on her for some injustice. But for now, these first-thing-in-the-morning snuggle sessions are enough to remind me not to get ahead of myself and to enjoy these little ones at this lovable, snuggly age right now!
