And the lifelong friendship begins...

I have dreams of my 2 girls being best friends. Sharing a room, sharing clothes, walking to school together, looking out for one another and loving every second of it. Well... okay, maybe not every second. I know, I have a sister, there is drama, tears and slamming doors. But there is still so much love.

Today was my first true glimpse of the reciprocal affection that Sarah now has for Evie. Evie has always LOVED Sarah. She follows her around, wants to hold her hand, and kisses and hugs her all day long. Unless she takes a toy from her, then that's another story. Anyways, for the past few months now that Sarah is walking, she has been almost running from Evie. She pushes her away when Evie tries to kiss her, she cries when Evie tries to hold her hand or dance with her, its so sad. But- today was the first time I have seen a glimpse into the future.

I took the girls to play at MoBu Kids during open play to wear them out before dinner. There were a lot of kids there and they were all running and screaming. Sarah got a little freaked out from time to time and kept scanning the room for me to save her. After she ran up to me and gave me a hug I said to her, "Go find Evie and give her a hug!" She turned around, scanned the room, ran over to Evie and then put her arms around her and hugged her tight. Evie in return put her arms around Sarah and it was the best thing I have ever seen. They hugged each other for an eternity it seemed and I LOVED IT.

I am so blessed.
