the siblings

Cael asks to hold his sister today… He climbs into my lap and we pick her up together, settling her into his lap. They are both so thrilled; she looking up at him in worship and delight, he taking out his binkie to kiss her on the lips, hug her and giggle. I am constantly amazed at their capacity for love and affection. I was prepared for jealousy, rivalry and competition for attention. But I was not expecting absolute fascination, adoration and protectiveness. I am sure there will be a bit of everything in their relationship throughout their lives, but watching it unfold is truly wonderful. And Isabel is only three months old!
