We recently had a swing set put up in the backyard. Normally both girls want to be pushed on the 'wings' {according to R}. Sometimes, though, E want to be big and push her sister. It is so sweet watching them together. If I am pushing R is never looks behind to see me but when E is 'pushing' her R is totally interested in what E is doing. E gives commentary on how hard it is to push or how high R is going.
The only downside to the pushing is that E has unfortunately learned the hard way about gravity and what swings up will swing down. Fortunately E has only gotten in the crossfire of the swinging R once - but once was enough to have her make a wide arch around the swing when it is swinging.
I cannot wait to see these girls grow up together!
My favorite part of having two kids is watching them together. There is certainly sibling bickering sometimes, but the times they truly interact happily is my favorite.
