Best of Friends.....

Where does time go? So much to catch up on but I couldn't help documenting these precious pictures of these two siblings, truly best of friends. They are as different as salt and pepper yet both add so much joy to our life. Millie is full of ideas and wakes up mid-sentence, ready to fire off the first thing she has planned for them and us to do. Tristan wakes up, runs to Millie and gives her a big hug. Eagerly waiting for her entertaining plans so he can follow along. Throughout the day you'll find Millie racing around the house going from one idea to the next. Not far behind you see her toddling brother, who absolutely adores her and is there to laugh at all her jokes and share his toys to have her stay happy. His last words before he takes his nap are ...Night night Millie... I wuv you.... and some of his first words when he wakes up from a nap are....Millie where are you?.... He struggles with separation anxiety and has yet to stay a full day in Nursery at church. Yet if Millie is there when I drop them off at a friends for a playdate he is okay to go and happy to stay and play. Millie has become Tristan's official translator as well. Tristan will say two words and Millie will translate his meaning into a paragraph. Anything Millie says she wants or is going to do Tristan will repeat it back and say I want to do that too. At night we'll often lay in bed and we can hear them talking to each other, Millie will tell Tristan what they are going to do the next day and Tristan will gleefully try to repeat it. We'll often hear Tristan just before he falls asleep in his crib go through all the names in the family and say ........Night, Night Millie...Night Night Daddy......Night Night Mommy, ....... I wuv you. What a joy it is to be a family....... and I can't believe that in one week we get to welcome another member........destined to join and become one of these best friends.
