Friends

As most of you know, I have two daughters – one we adopted and one is biological – and they are sisters. They play, they fight, they compete, they live life together. And they each have a stuffed animal that is near and dear to their heart.

Elise has claimed “Teddy” as her favorite. She received Teddy on her adoption day here in the US.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maggie has claimed a bunny and blanket (they used to be one piece and now are two) – ni-night and blankey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Teddy and ni-night are friends. Ni-night likes to give Teddy kisses. Something about the interaction between two stuffed animals touches my heart. I am thankful that my girls accept each other and that it extends to their stuffed animals – that they act out being friends through pretend play, too.

Now I know that they are only 2 and 5 and have many years and joys and fights ahead of them, but for now I want to savor these moments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that as they grow up together, they can keep finding common ground. That they can accept and celebrate each other’s differences. That they will embrace who God has made them. That they won’t worry if they both excel in different areas. That will still be each other’s friend.

And I think that in that not so distant future, it will be I holding tight to Teddy and ni-night as they chase their dreams.
