Best Buds!

We have always wanted to have kids close in age because we wanted them to grow up close and be best friends. Connor and Mya are 2 1/2 years (almost to the day) and I can't even believe how well they get along at this point. Obviously I know things will change several times over the next few years, I am just so grateful for the relationship they have right now. I have friends and family member who have kids close in age and the oldest has been jealous from day one. I won't lie, I was slightly petrified that Connor was going to HATE this baby. I stay home and it had been just the two of us (during the day) up until Mya came along. I thought for sure he would act out and want nothing to do with her.

 

I couldn't have been more wrong! He absolutely loves his little sister - sometimes to a fault. :/ He talks to her in the sweetest voice saying this like "Hi, baby girl." "Hi, princess." "Such a pretty girl." He loves to hug her and love on her (again, sometimes to a fault...he can definitely overwhelm her with his loves). He really is just an amazing brother.

 

And she loves him just as much -- as long as he isn't talking to her a half an inch from her face. He can sit there and just look at her without saying anything and she lights up like a Christmas tree. She likes to play with his hands and just seems to adore him.
    

I know things could and probably will change, but I feel so grateful for the way they adore each other right now. If I could, I would bottle it up and keep it this way forever.
