The kids played together so sweetly tonight. I was making dinner and doing kitchen stuff and they were “hibernating” or camping, depending on who you asked. :) They built a fire with wooden blocks and lit it with a Lego match. They tried to build tent stakes with wooden blocks, but they kept falling over, so they made a tent with chairs instead. Lex had a “gun” to kill baddies and ghosts (the first time guns have reappeared since the first time they appeared many weeks ago, not something I’m thrilled about). Eve saw ghosts everywhere and perfected her scared face, all the while with a baby doll tucked up in her shirt “nursing.” It was cute. It might the be longest time they’ve ever played together without fighting and me needing to help or break up fights. I got so much done and didn’t even feel guilty about ignoring them!
I believe our favorite young man was implementing, in his own way, the concept of “protection”. The method can be discussed, certainly, but the concept can be encouraged. What a wonderful young man. And this demonstrates his willingness to protect those he cares about. Something that will be a great source of comfort to Eve in later years. Hugs to all of you and God Bless always. : )
Sounds like you have a camping trip in the future! And here’s to quiet moments of peace between our children…life’s true treasure!
Love to all, mema
