30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 14

Day 14: Today I was reminded to be thankful for my children and their relationships with each other. They really are the most precious little people. A few of the things that reminded me of this:

• I took Sofi in for her 4 month checkup and our doctor commented on how much she enjoys seeing our kids, that's even with the fact that I generally bring all 4 of them with me.
• Sofi got a couple of shots today at her appointment. When Reagan found out that she would be getting shots he hid under the desk and covered his ears because he didn't want to see or hear Sofi cry. He truly felt bad for her and told me that he wished it didn't have to hurt.
• This afternoon Reagan was wrestling with Evie and Evie did not want to be wrestled with. Amelia walked over to Reagan and informed him, "Reagan off Evie." Then she promptly bit him in the back. She knows that Evie won't fight back so she was trying to "protect" her big sister. (She did get a time out for biting.)
• Evie is always very concerned about Sofia and lets me know whenever she spits up or is fussing.
• Tonight Reagan wasn't feeling well and was laying on the couch. Amelia walked over by him and started patting/caressing his head and then she leaned over and gave him a kiss on his forehead. She said, "Ok, Reagan, ok."

They may fight with and bother each other on an (almost) hourly basis, but they still care for each other even at such young ages.
