Probably. Mostly sort of. ;-P<br /><br />I do really enjoy reading about your beautiful family. And I want to come spend time with you all. David sounds like a delight. (Is this just a reflection of my own self-obsession -- because he reminds me of myself?) But when I read: “You should like people better than things.” Well, I just had to laugh aloud, and say, I love this kid. :-D<br /><br />(And really, you shouldn't go telling just anyone that you're superheroes. You never know what they might do with that kind of information!)Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294667963336681720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095227282638922431.post-33524420609227128812013-06-27T04:32:47.287-07:002013-06-27T04:32:47.287-07:00oh, I can so relate to everything in this! We'...oh, I can so relate to everything in this! We've had a few days just very recently where Clover has taken up an air of importance and responsibility in taking care of her sister. Considering how she's related to Violet in the past, it's an amazing thing to watch. Literally, the first voluntary hug and kiss bestowed upon Violet by Clover happened last night in response to Violet being upset. There is a departure in age 4 from the crazy tantrums of the terrible threes. Not completely....but it's a start. <br /><br />Nursing time IS very hard to give up ^_^ I was grateful for it too when Violet broke her leg on a slide. Instant comfort - for both of us!
