We had a few wonderful things happen today, small but wonderful. I know this statement will sound strange to most people, but I think Kaylynn is warming up to her little brother. While most older children have 9 months to warm up to the fact that they will be getting a sibling, Kaylynn did not. Kaylynn literally went to mommy's day out an only child and came home with a little brother. Even though both of our children were adopt, we had little over 8 months to get ready for Kaylynn, but not Connor. We learned about Connor only a month before he was born and the state dropped him off with us one week after he took his first breathe. Don't get me wrong; Kaylynn is a good sister, but she really doesn't have allot to do with Connor. She does say goodbye to him when she goes to school and she kisses him goodnight before bed, but that is pretty much it. I know that it will take time for them to get use to each other and they have a lifetime to do so. They will love each other, hate each other and have many battles and memories together. I also know that she; along with Eric and I will learn to love him more then her own life, but today she gave me a wonderful surprise. She climbed on the couch with him today and actually loved and cuddle with him. She is always a great helper; I can always ask her to hand me something or do something for me and she always comes though. But it was a wondrous thing to see my little monkey (Kaylynn) loving on my little turtle (Connor) without me making her. She gave him a huge hug and he gave her a big smile back, and yes I cried at that moment. I was so happy to see my children interacting with each other and proud of my daughter I just couldn't help it!!! We are so blessed! Goodnight all, See ya'll tomorrow!
