Ever since Juliet was born, I have wondered when I would see a shift - from my kids seeing eachother as competition (for a toy, snack or the most coveted: mommy and daddy's attention) to best friends... or even just friends?.. or even maybe, friendly acquaintences would be nice? Always hoping of course that thier love and appreciation for each other would someday grow into the kind of closeness I have with my sisters.
Then just the other day, after several rasberries (which is the polite way of saying that our precious Juliet was spitting at me), I told the little miss that it was time for her to go to time out. In that instant, Jackson looked at me with sad sad eyes and said, "Nooo Mommy, you can't do that to Ju eeee et.. I LOVE HER. Please please don't take her to time out.. she's my BEST FRIEND!"
