Siblings

The other day I came around the corner to find this:

They were reading a book together, with Evelyn sitting in Will's lap. Could this be any sweeter? Nope, I think not. They are finally getting to the age where they are playing together a bit. Yes, Evelyn does her fair share of annoying her older brother (like breaking his Lego car he spent an hour building) and vice versa (Will has a penchant for grabbing things out of her hand, making her scream. And hit. She is not one to be messed with.) But at heart, these two love each other. I hope they will continue to be pals as they get older. I remember when I found out I was having a girl, I was afraid they wouldn't be as close as same-sex siblings would be. And maybe they won't, but there's definitely a unique bond and a sense of protection from the older brother to his little sister (you hear that future-boyfriends-of-Evelyn? Watch out for big brother!)
