Siblings

Siblings: Sometimes they fight and are mean to each other and they drive you a little nuts.  And then sometimes they play so peacefully together.  It's the later of these two instances that I prefer to remember years from now.  (I generally avoid taking pictures of them when they are hitting each other!)  On Friday, my two just played so happily together after school.  Amidst the dozens of other kids on the playground, they chose to play with each other.  And no one else.  I love these moments.  And so I took a few pictures with my phone.  I choose to remember this day.  And like my mom, I will one day have no memory of them ever fighting or misbehaving.  I'll only happily look back on days like this.  And when they ask me for parenting advice for their naughty little ones, I'll tell them what my mom tells me, "I don't remember YOU ever doing THAT.  I don't know what to tell you, sweetie.  Except that one day you'll forget all this."
