Each day I find myself amazed by the burgeoning relationship between my daughter and my son. In the process of testing each other's limits and boundaries, they are also learning a great deal about mutual respect, about how to have fun with each other, and how to love one another, treating the other as they would want to be treated. It is the embodiment of the Golden Rule, always drilled into us as children but something perhaps we are unable to see until we are responsible for raising our children to know and live that rule themselves.
Nobody can make my son laugh like my daughter can. She is absolutely wonderful with him. Being 4, and being the eldest, she is also quite bossy and has had to learn a great deal about sharing with somebody on a 24/7/365 basis rather than just being on best behavior at a playgroup or at preschool. I am proud of her.
My son brings a joy and a youth into our home that is unequalled. We can hear him paddling through the house and we always know his smiling face will greet us when he successfully searches us out. He has a keen sense of humor for a 16 month old, and that keeps our daughter and our cat constantly on their toes.
My children are such happy children. My daughter's family and self portraits that she draws always are smiling and happy and active. Corey likes to make us laugh, performing for applause and approbation, yet ready to come and give love if I am not happy.
I can only hope and pray to be the best Mother I can to these two, the greatest treasures of my life. May they always bring joy to all those around them.

Children are a gift and you are appreciating them as such, which in itself is also a gift. Precious days indeed. You are very wise to enjoy them as much as you are, because those days don't come back - something I was always told by old ladies when I was a young mother of three under-fivers, and something which I vowed I'd never say to young Mums myself when I was older - and look at me! Here I am doing it!! (As I have many times before this as well.) Sigh ...
