The Sweetness that is my Kids

Sometimes, having two little one's so close together can be wonderful. The older they get, the more they behave like little people and the sweeter it can be. This morning Alexis insisted on having cold pizza for breakfast. It may not super healthy, but...I'm lazy...it's quick...and usually she won't eat breakfast, so at least she was eating. The cutest interaction happened shortly after.

Justin (to Alexis): More Please (this means he wants some of whatever you have. He hasn't quite learned that you must have some before you can get more. He also told her in sign language just incase she couldn't understand what he was saying. I'm still amazed at how much sign language my kids have continued to use even after their words came)

Alexis: Here you go. (holds out the piece of pizza for him. Justin tries to take it) No. I'll hold it...you take a bite. (When did she become such a big girl?)

Justin: Thank you. (Signed and said)

The cycle continued until they had finished off the piece of pizza, after which, they headed off to the kitchen to beg for more. In the kitchen Alexis insisted that we give Justin his "own piece". However, Bella decided she wanted pizza too and promptly removed it from his little hands. Thankfully, Alexis was in a sharing mood and let him share her second piece. So sweet and so loving. Unfortunately, I suspect that before the day is over, they'll be fighting again, but for a brief moment, I was able to imagine what life might be like if they always liked each other.
