Playmates

My kids played together for the first time today. It was the cutest thing, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Micaiah, being a loving big sister, had asked to hold Emmett in her lap. She's done this before and he usually lasts about 30 seconds before she pokes him in the eye and it's all downhill from there. Well today there was poking, but he seemed to have gotten used to the unintended abuse poured on him by his big sister. And he decided to respond today with a good-natured near-grin and a light fist in the face (because, you know, he has total control over his limb movements . . . or not). She responded with as near a tickle as she can get with her low-degree (read: non-existent) level of gentleness.

He simply continued to smile as they traded tiny punches and she giggled wildly.

Adorable.
