I guess one of my desires as a parent is for my children to form and maintain meaningful relationships with each other. I know many things factor into sibling relationships and I won’t even pretend to know anything on this topic,  because to be honest besides reading the occasional article,  I’ve done no research on this. Mmm maybe I’ll add that to my list of things to research. 
Adam snacking and watching his big brother. I love the way Adam has plonked himself down on the bamboo plant pot

Grace took this photo of her brothers. “Mom quickly pass your phone I want to take a photo, they are so cute” 

In the meantime I love watching my children play, and love, and connect with each other. I love how Grace and Eli can go from playing school school, to making a tent, to baking crunchies, to playing a horse and carriage game and then back to school school. I love how Adam is very much part of the gang (although he does often cause havoc resulting in him being booted from the playroom) and really enjoys being with them and joining in, in his own special way. I love how Eli and Grace love Adam and think he is the cutest baby/toddler. I love how they celebrate with him when he learns a new word, a new skill and how they delight in him discovering things for the first time.

I don’t know if they will be close when they are all grown up, or whether they will even like each other, but I do know that when they were 7, 4 and 1 they filled each other with love, laughter, joy and of course a good dose of sibling frustration and irritation.
