I cannot express how wholeheartedly I agree with the quote above. Years ago I wasn't sure I wanted kids. Joe laughs about this because these kids are the center of my world and my life would be no where near complete with out each of them.
Carter has been very affectionate with Mya lately. He'll go over to her and kiss her (smacking sound included!) or hug her, lay his head on her, etc. He's beginning to show interest in holding her so last night we had him sit on the couch and we put Mya on his lap. Carter wasn't as impressed with holding her as he thought he might be but he did hug her. Talk about completing me. Seeing my big kid hug/love my little kid. Melt my heart good. Actually it's more like set my heart on fire good. The picture is blurry but I wouldn't change it. It is such an accurate capture. Squirmy, fast moving Carter, with 2 bee's in the picture and a truck trailer giving his sister a hug with his head.
In other cute Carter/Mya news Carter tries to calm Mya. And it works. If she cries he'll go over and talk to her. The other day she was in the bouncy chair on the kitchen table and she started fussing. Carter walks over to the kitchen table and starts talking to her. Then he climbs up on the chair, gently puts his hands on her little legs, and leans in to talk to her. (Don't worry I was supervising, they were all safe.) You can bet I had the biggest grin on my face and tears in my eyes. Or if she's in the swing and fusses a bit he goes over and gently rocks the swing. Kid kills me he's so sweet and observant. What gets me the most is Carter is not a gentle kid. But he has been nothing but gentle with Mya. He seems to just know to be gentle with her and his soothing works and calms Mya. Although the other day we were sitting on the couch playing with the ipad and Mya started crying and he wanted her to go away so he could play in peace. Funny kid.
Yep. Wouldn't be complete without them. Love them to pieces!
