Tonight after dinner I assigned Analese the task of picking the Leap Frog magnets up off the floor and putting them back onto the refrigerator. I was scurrying about in the kitchen cleaning floor messes and loading the dishwasher. I was not paying the girls very much attention, although they were on the floor at my feet. Analese looked up at me and said in the sweetest little voice, "Mommy, Mariele is helping me! We are teamwork!" I stopped what I was doing to observe. And sure enough, Mariele was handing each magnet to Analese and Analese would put them on the refrigerator. The following video clip is one minute long. I could not resist sharing this. Even if you only watch a few seconds, I just think this is the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time!
The development of this precious sister bond is one of the things I was most looking forward to when I found out that Mariele was a girl. It is really playing out lately, as Mariele has passed her one year birthday and her little personality has just bloomed so much. I can tell that both girls really delight in each other's company. And it warms my heart. So very very much.

Love it! They are precious together, and that's so cute how much you can tell they appreciate each other. That sister bond is something else!
The sister bond is amazing to see, it is my favorite favorite thing about mothering.
I am loving this with the boys right now. They love to hug, and AJC just wants to be laying on top of JTC all the time. I also have a video to post, but it's a little different than yours! (it's LOUD and CRAZY!)
That is so sweet. I think it took my sister and I about 25 years to get to that point. You are much luckier than my parents were.
So precious! Love it!
Wonderful! That is just precious!
Aww!!
