Now, six months later, Allegra has been smiling and laughing and connecting with us all more and more every day. Wyatt has discovered that he can make her smile and laugh. She loves him. She has always stared at him, has always loved him. But now, they are making that connection.
I have been sitting and quietly relishing sweet moments between them. Wishing that I could grab the video camera and preserve it forever, but knowing that it would ruin the moment. So I just sit and enjoy it.
Tonight, we were at Ryan's parents house. Everyone was somewhere else. It was just the kids and I and Auntie Lisa. Wyatt wanted to play in the "pack n' play" with Allegra, so I put both of them in there and sat and watched him make her smile and look at her with adoration and love in his eyes and say, "I love you sissalou" over and over again. Then, he asked me to take their picture. (he rarely ever asks me to take his picture) AND THEN, he actually smiled.
This was a precious moment that I hope to always hold in my heart...

Oh so cute! Those are definitely the moments to treasure forever!
So sweet, Em!
I have an a 3 year old boy and a 18 month girl, and while it wasn't quite love at first site for my son, the other day they were outside playing and a neighbor boy was taking her toy. My son promptly marched over and told him "don't take my sister's toy....I love her!"
It was one of those, thank goodness there is hope, moments for me!
You kids are beautiful and you can tell from that photo that they do have a special connection, so sweet.
Thank you for adding us to your sidebar, it really means a lot.
Will see you around!
Oh that's so sweet Em! I'm so glad you blogged it!
