Kids Playing Nicely...Together?? Grab the Camera!

For 16 months I have waited for this special time to come- when my kids would play nicely together.  Finally, it has happened this past week.  It is a glorious moment for any mother, I'm sure.  I am still in shock when I leave them to play and don't hear screams coming out of the room 30 seconds later.  For the past few days, I have left them to play in the room next to me or right beside me as I work on something else and when I peek over to see how they are doing, I find them playing nicely next to each other- sometimes even with each other!  I guess my baby girl is growing up and learning to deal with her sometimes rough big brother, and my little boy is learning to compromise with is sometimes demanding little sister.  I am just hoping it will last!

I caught them in the above moment playing "train" together.  Liam has wanted Analee to play this game with him for a long time and she finally has obliged. The ride is bumpy, but she deals with it! Amen, Alleluia!

Below is a video of one Analee's favorite things to do after she discovered it makes her brother (and her parents) laugh hysterically.  Notice how nicely they are sharing the screen time...until the last few seconds...

And I had waaaay to much fun picking out fun music for this video!

They are so cute!!!!
Sarah, I received my rosaries today and they are just delightful. I love how colorful they are and I appreciate all the work that went into each and every bead. This will so help me in my prayer life.
Thank you so very much.

@Karen, You are very welcome! It was my pleasure!

@Allison- yes, they find the oddest things to play with- and ignore some of the neatest (I think) toys. Makes me wonder why I get them any toys at all!
