Being an only child sucks. For me at least. I remember begging my mother to have another child so I could have a sibling. Always being envious of those who had siblings. Even today I really wish I had a sibling I was close to whom I could call and chat with, share the holidays with, etc….. I suppose this is one of the factors that contributed to my desire to have a large family. A desire to give my children those relationships and experiences that I will never have being an only child.
I enjoy watching their relationships and dynamics change and I often day dream about what their relationships will consist of when they are older.
One of the benefits to home schooling is that the children really have the opportunity to spend a lot of time together, learning, playing, growing. I think this gives them a unique perspective and sense of empathy for one another.
So here are just a few pics of the younger ones to show their love for one another.
I love how TJ has his hand in the raisin container while fast asleep and the joy on his face when he looks at his baby brother warms this mommies heart.
