This picture was taken shortly after our little cowboy's birth 2 summers ago. Time does go by fast. It's amazing how both kids have changed, both physically and developmentally. Our little princess is still as cute as ever, although now, slightly more cautious than when she was 2. Our son, or our little jokester, as we also like to call him--he has an uncanny wit for such a young boy.
I'll treasure this picture of them forever. Now that we're expecting baby #3, I hope that they welcome her with the same wonder as we did the little cowboy. I hope that all three children realize how precious they are to each other; how they will become each others best friends, allies in what can sometimes seem a harsh world. My day begins early with almost always a daily dose of squabbles among the kids--at the end of the day, however, they say good night and give each other a good night kiss. More and more, I am starting to notice that bond between them. They do in fact, care and are interested in each other. This weekend, while the princess spent the night at the grandparent, the little cowboy asked about her--I detected a little sadness in his voice. Yes, I do believe they'll be best friends...someday.
