New Beginnings


I'm Alicia, wife of Dave, and mom to my three boys and one girl, all under the age of 7. Life has been rich, though it hasn't been what I had expected.

Brother's Bonding

Posted at 2:37 PM on Jun. 21, 2006

I have often thought that the best gift I've ever given my boys is each other.  I am constantly confirmed that a sibling can be one of God's greatest blessings!

 

Steven, especially, has grown so much as a person in his interaction with Jackson who is 15 months younger.  I truly believe Jackson has been the cheapest "therapy" Steven has gotten, and the best!

 

It's funny how I thought it was so crazy when we got pregnant so soon with Jackson, but I have thanked God 100 times for that gift!

 

Just recently, we moved the boys into the same room.  After a few nights of hours of giggling, and much "discipline" for getting out of bed, they have understood that if they can stay in bed, they will have a few minutes to "talk" and will not get in trouble.

 

I have noticed remarkable growth in their relationship since they started sharing a room.  It's like, just sleeping in the same room has created this even deeper connection.  Praise God!

 

On the down side, I'm left with an empty crib that I just can't take apart yet...praying for God to fill it.
