Walking Hand-In-Hand.

This morning, Joey and I were trying to encourage Roo to practice walking. Usually when our focus is 100% on Emme, Savannah's jealousy starts to flare. Of course this is natural for a two 1/2 year old, but still. Joey and I try to give our babies equal attention but sometimes, we simply must concentrate on one at a time. As Roo was wobbling across the living room, trying to get her sea legs, all of a sudden Savvy shouted "C'mon baby sister! You can do it!" -- she rushed over to Roo and took her little hands, helping her make it over to the couch. I was, in that moment, totally overcome with emotion as I witnessed the true love shared by my daughters. I pray that as they grow up, Savannah and Emme will continue to support each other even when one is in the spotlight and the other is not. I realize that there will be times when one girl is the center of attention and the other stands back in the shadows... but on those occasions, it is the most important time of all to want the best for each other. Today I was so proud of both of our girls... Emme for walking on her own, and Savannah for walking alongside her.

This brought tears to my eyes. Pride as an aunt...blissful rememberence of my own sister's helping hands. Sweet and innocent moments of true love. Beautifully worded!
