I think that our boys have a pretty typical sibling relationship. We have good days and bad days. It's kind of like the whole "waking up on the right or wrong side of the bed" thing. There are days that they get along great and I stumble upon them (gasp) cooperating and enjoying each others company. And then there are days when they literally "come out swinging" from their bedroom doors first thing in the morning.
We had one of those days (the latter) last Saturday and I remember at one point in the day sighing and wondering to myself if they would ever become the kind of friends that I hope and pray they will be.
And then that evening, as if in response to my pondering, God blessed me with this...
They had asked to sleep together (something we allow when it is not a school night) and when I came in to check on them I found them snuggled together like this. I'm not sure if you can tell, but Richie had his arm around Will.
This gives me hope. A hope I will cling to on the good days...and the bad.

That is so encouraging - we're having one of the "come out swinging" days! Hopefully it was just a "come out swinging" morning and everyone will be happier after nap time. :)

Those are the sweetest moments of all...I love getting pictures of Nathan and Grace sleeping together. The limbs thrown carelessly over one another, the peaceful expressions on their faces. It makes me hopeful too that they will be friends forever!
