My kids are early risers. That's okay, I am too. This morning I awoke to a frequent scene: each of them were in my bed with two of their guys (stuffed animals), and they were creating this elaborate story about the guys. Kate had Cinderella Kitty and Toodles the dog. Sam had Sharkey (a dolphin from Pizza Street) and Sealy (actually a seal).
Kate: Do you have your guys?
Sam: Yeah. I have Sharkey and Sealy. They live in the same ocean so they need to get to know each other.
Kate: You have two guys and I have two guys! We both have two guys!
Sam: Sharkey and Sealy are hiding in a cave from Godzilla. Your guys can come too.
Kate: Okay! [and she crawls over my trying-to-sleep body]
The guys hide and then off the whole group goes on another quest. Feet running down the stairs, laughing, dog following close behind.
I'm just so thankful for their play together. What a blessing to have two kids that actually like each other, most of the time. Sam is so generous with her, often commenting on her artwork from school or new songs and how great they are. Kate is in a constant quest to be Sam's best sister.
Other than being too early, it's a pretty great way to wake up.
