Sharing...

I love a lot of things about Kendall and Seren.  What I love to watch most lately is how they take notice and share with each other (and sometimes other kids).  I gave both girls apple juice with dinner and of course Seren downed hers pretty quickly.  Kendall finished eating and noticed that Seren's glass was empty.  She pointed it out to me and then grabbed her own glass and dumped all of her apple juice into Seren's cup.  I asked if she wanted Seren to drink all of her apple juice and she said yes.  So I asked if Seren (who had left the table) wanted to drink Kendall's apple juice.  Her little legs couldn't carry her fast enough.  She drank a bit and I suggested she share some with Kendall.  The two them enjoyed the rest of the apple juice together.

Seren is a little less likely to share her food but she's quick to grab Kendall's favorite blanket when she's upset or to bring Kendall's doll when she goes to fetch her own from their room.  I love how Seren will tilt her head when she looks at you and then ask "more?" and if you say "yes, more please" she will come running to give you more hugs, back scratches or pretend Mac&Cheese.

They've gotten so good at comforting each other that they now are often the first ones to try and offer comfort to other children.  I work in the nursery at our church on Sunday (kids 18 months to 3 years playing and little lessons while adults have class).  Kendall and Seren are both in there as well.  I remember one incident when a boy was upset that another child took the toy he wanted and Kendall offered him the toy she had.  The boy took the toy and threw it on the floor.  Poor Kendall was so upset that she came crying to me.  We had the boy say sorry but she was really heartbroken to have her help turned away.

Sweet girls and sweet memories.
