We've had our share of unbecoming outbreaks of jealousy and petty violence against each other, and we've had times where they completely ignored each other.
But...
Lately things have changed. Now, they look for each other. The first thing in the morning, Abbey wants to go and play with Elijah. Yesterday, she actually took him out of his crib! (After I lectured her, I hope that won't happen again.) She goes up to him and affectionately calls him, "Little Buddy". He copies everything she does. They are now content to let me hold both of them at the same time.
I know the fights will come and go, but that is also a part of being brother and sister. They have grown to love each other and that will just get stronger and stronger! I makes my mama-heart swell with joy!!!
How wonderful to see them bonding and getting along like true brothers and sisters do. (Yes, even with the jealousy and petty violence that we see around here a lot.)

Oh that turning point when they finally start to really enjoy one another! Makes the heart happy, doesn't it?
