Tenderly Love

I have seen some beautiful displays of tenderly love from Layla to her sister. It just melts my heart! If only my words could paint the picture in your head perfectly.

The other day I was in the living room with the girls and noticed it got quiet (aside from the music coming from Piper's play gym). I looked over and saw the most precious scene! Piper was on her back under her play gym. Layla was on her stomach almost perpendicular to Piper. Here is the kicker. She was simply holding Piper's hand and watching her. So gentle. So sweet. I don't know how long she stayed like that, but it was definitely a long time in "toddler time."

I went to grab my phone to take a picture. It doesn't do it justice...but it is sweet nonetheless. If you happen to be "friends" with me on facebook, you can see it there. I'm sure there's a way to upload pics from my phone onto my computer and put them here, but I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet.

After taking a picture I realized I could take a video of it with my phone (my video camera was with my regular camera in Indy!! see post below). I knew I was quickly running out of time to catch this precious moment on video!

I caught the tail-end of the moment. Although Layla was no longer holding Piper's hand, she was still just sitting there staring at her sister. You can actually see Layla begin fidgeting with her hands as if she's really wanting to do something but knows she probably shouldn't...then she takes the paci out of Piper's mouth! Haha. But she so gently puts it back in. The BEST part of the video is the last second...Layla places her hand upon Piper's cheek and gives her the most loving of pats. Soooo sweet!!

I will be creating a YouTube account here shortly so I can upload the video and put it on Facebook. I will see if my husband can help me upload it here as well.

I really do love having two little girls and can't begin to fathom the things I will see from them in the future!

I know there will be *many* fights!! I'm a sister myself...I know how it works! :-) But I also know they will be the best of friends and always be there for each other.

I'm so proud to be their mommy!
