Buddies

Although they can fight like crazy, they really are best buds. 

They can make each other belly laugh like no one else.

They love to play together in their rooms.  They are usually really good at sharing.

They tell knock knock jokes to each other.

Jack yells for "Sissy" a hundred times a day.

Kate teaches Jack to sing the alphabet and how to say long sentences word by word.

When we drop Kate off at preschool, Jack immediately says in his sad voice, "miss Kate". 

They hold hands when we walk through a parking lot.

When Jack gets in trouble, he runs to Kate. 

Kate is soooo protective of him.  She told me that a little girl at the Y told her that "her brother talked funny" (he is still working on speaking in full sentences, so his speech is kinda choppy... so cute, though).  She told her, "No he doesn't" and apparently was just appalled that someone would say that. 

They can do some serious arguing, though. Jack often destroys stuff Kate is working on and it understandably drives her crazy!

Most of the time, though, they really have a lot of fun together.

Even though we weren't quite ready to have another baby when I found out I was pregnant with Jack, I love that they are pretty close in age. I love that they are buddies.  I hope they always are.
