My kiddos will each get their own gratitude pic someday, probably several. But today I was especially grateful for a peaceful moment they shared.
They're 3 and 5, and for well over a year they've been at a point where they're inseparable, but at each other's throats almost constantly. Getting them to play apart is nearly impossible but so is getting them to play without yelling and/or crying.
Today they bucked both trends. First they relaxed together (as pictured) watching a show, then they played together re-enacting a scene from the show, with AA being very patient and SL staying engaged and calm. Then when AA was doing her homework (reading with NT), I took SL upstairs and she didn't mind being away from AA; we played a couple games and read some books very pleasantly. Bedtime seemed less difficult today too for some reason.
So here's hoping for more days like these, but I'm just grateful for this one!
