I know there will be times that they fight. I know there may even be times where they don't really like each other. But as a mom, one of the things I want and hope for is that my kids always love each other and are there for each other.
Yesterday was Alex's birthday- as you read in yesterday's post- she instructed her brother on how to find her a good present. Well not only did he find her an awesome present (a Barbie that is a Princess that can turn into a Rockstar and even sings) but he hurried and got ready for bed Tuesday night so he would have time to make her this
It made my heart so happy and I love how naturally good and sweet he is.
And Alex loved the card and even wrote a thank you note.
Though a little miscommunication from me and she wrote "care" instead of card. But it actually fits as Lucas truly does care about his sister and take care of her.
Alex loved all her presents. In fact in her words, "I just love all my presents so much I am going to die!"
Of course the princess needed a princess cake (which I made)
And she blew out the candles in pure Alex fashion
i.e. with flair and gusto!
So a very good day and a very proud mama- who hopes they always are so good to each other.
What is your Proud Mommy Moment this week?
What a sweet brother!! That's definitely something to be proud of. This morning, my two were calling each other "brats." Fun times.

ReplyDeleteThat is just adorable! I know exactly what you mean too. These moments between siblings make your heart melt with love and happiness. I'm the same watching my boys together. Great cake too! I have to make Bennys cake tomorrow and I'm not that great at cakes let alone decorating them. Luckily he is young enough not to remember it ha ha!! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful, you have amazing kids! lol, my favorite moment this week was the parent teacher conference... because the teacher had inadvertently made a "Mad libs" and my son totally had a blast with it, which is why she wanted to meet with me.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this post. She has an amazing big brother. This is all I wish for my boys. I loved her line about her presents, and that cake - wow! What girl wouldn't want a princess cake like that?!
