Sisterly Love

We have recently been having a little trouble with Spencer at school. The upshot of it is that yesterday we had to discipline him. We kept him home from a little Halloween party he was meant to go to. Leia still went to the party and I was convinced she was going to have a great time and not give Spencer another thought. Well at the party the kids decorated paper sacks to collect candy in. On her bag, Leia wrote "Spencr Asp" and said she was going to give it to him as he couldn't be there. When she got home from the party she went off to bed and later when Gary and I went to bed we checked on the kids as usual. When we went into Spencer's room, we saw that before Leia had gone to sleep she had slipped some candy from the party under his door for him. I'm such a sap and I teared up. She is such a thoughtful little girl with such a tender heart. It's so wonderful to see the relationships that the children have with each other. Parenting is the hardest thing I've ever taken on but for these little joys, it is so so worth it.
