One of Matthew's new favorite foods is tomato soup - random, but he really loves it. So tonight, after 3 good helpings of tomato soup, he was rewarded with a small bowl of one of his other favorite foods, ice cream. I had taken kaylie down from the table a little while before, so she was off playing - I start clearing the table from dinner while Matthew is eating his ice cream when I hear "Here you go kaylie, you can have some ice cream" and he's feeding it to her - his beloved ice cream and he's sharing it with her, bite after bite. The photo doesn't do it justice - after every bite she would come show us her bite and smile at how yummy it was, and Matthew was just sitting in his chair smiling, happy to be eating ice cream, happy to be sharing with his sister. It's moments like these that I am so thankful for the treasure God has blessed me with. Moments like these that make it all worthwhile, that the crazy moments/hours/days/weeks that happen are temporary, that we have such beautiful kids who love each other. More and more every day I see them growing closer, and it makes me so happy :) I had a great relationship with my brother growing up, still have a good relationship with him, and I pray so much that my kids grow up as friends :) I know that's a lot to get out of a little bowl of ice cream, but it really brightened my day :)
