When they love each other

Maddie and Lucy often have a great time together.  And when they are fighting, they still would way rather have each other than not.  When one is gone the other is lost.  These two complete each other and fulfill each other's needs--they have each other to play with and drive nuts and hug and tug and love and say sorry to and forgive--every day.  It is beautiful.

Maddie's often the first one into Lucy's room when she starts to wake up in the morning and in the afternoons after naps. This morning Maddie ran in before me and then asked if Lucy could sit on her lap.  So she did.  And Maddie read her several books.



Maddie decided it would be easier to read if Lucy was next to her instead of on top of her, so they moved to this position.  They stayed like this for a while, just looking at books together with Maddie reading, or singing, or pointing out all the different parts of each page and accompanying pictures.



I'm so glad they have each other.  Maddie's starting to get more interested in making friends and meeting more kids.  For example, we just got new next door neighbors a couple months ago and there is a little girl who is 5.  She often asks Maddie to play.  It's wonderful and it's hard and it's fun and it's challenging all at the same time.  I'm glad for Maddie to have friends and make new ones.  But I'm glad Maddie still needs Lucy.  They are best friends.
