Sibling sweetness

I mentioned here that I was anxious about how our little loves' relationship will play out. We're three weeks into this whole we-have-two-kids business and God has been piling on grace. Serene is transitioning from being an only child to being an older sister remarkably well so far. My heart melts when I observe Serene and Valor's sibling relationship bud. Ever since Valor arrived, Serene's new favorite pastime has become interacting with her baby brother. The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is run to Valor's bassinet and squeal a sweet "Hiiii!" to him. She wants to "hold" him any chance we allow her, which are the moments when he's awake and not breastfeeding. She pats him on the back and the head fondly, albeit a tad too forcefully (she's working on comprehending her own strength and his relative frailty). She proactively hugs and kisses him to bid him farewell before her naptime and bedtime. Her affection towards him has been the sweetest sight to behold. I can't wait to see how their sibling dynamic blossoms as they grow.
