I'm sorry, Sis!

Jovan was pretty cranky yesterday afternoon. He kept on asking me to carry him while I was holding his sister.

After sometime, I relented. That boy needed some good hugs.

I put the sister on the bed and carried him. Not long after, his sister started to cry! But big brother still did not want to go down. He looked at her crying and he asked me to ask one of the aunts to carry her. I told him there were no aunts around now. Only the three of us.

Then he said, "I want to go down now." He looked pretty sad. I put him down on the bed, and joined in to feed Kay. Jove started stroking his sister's arm, kissing her little fist, looking at her lovingly.

Then he said slowly, "I'm sorry, Sis."

"Why did you say sorry?" I asked him.

"Because I cried," he answered. ("Soalnya koko nangis", katanya.)

He slept while holding her hand. And I don't think I can put my feelings into words...

Oooohhhh... too sweet for words ya...
menakjubkan lho bagaimana anak2 kecil ini belajar menyayangi, bahkan untuk 'saingannya'.
I know it won't be easy for these litlle ones to love their baby siblings, but I recently realized that it shows what is our heart made of. Love. All we have todo is activate it :). Press the button, please. :p

Yep yep. :) God has put the love into our hearts since the very beginning... :D We're the lucky ones, able to experience these sweet moments with them daily! The blessing of being a stay-at-home mom, don't you think? ;)
