It's a walk somewhere, usually to a park or around the block, and Hannah zooms on her bike while Kate lingers talking to her dolls. I push the stroller with Rachel Lee somewhere between my two older girls in the middle, yelling at one kid, "Red Light!" and at the other kid, "Come on, sweetie, let's catch up."
But not today. Today we were walking to a friend's house and Hannah said to Kate, "Kate, can I ride beside you?" Kate answered very maturely, "Yes, you may." And Hannah slowed her pedaling pace and Kate sped up her doll walking pace and they walked together enjoying each other and laughing together. It was a picture of how to truly love someone so much that you are willing to change your normal inclination so you can be with them.
Wow, my three year old and my four year old can display an incredible love for each other. We may be people with different strengths and weakness, different likes and dislikes, different needs and desires, but God has made us one family, and it's a blessing to be together.
