The Moments You Live For

Don't think that this is what happens everyday, but I seemed to catch one of those rare moments that make being a mom totally worth it. I came into our living room and caught Meili reading to Sophie and ran to get my camera. Meili, for the most part, is very motherly by nature. However, this tenderness is more often saved for her Teddy Bear, "Teddy", and not for her little sister. Still, they are fairly good at playing together and Sophie can handle herself quite well when Meili gets a little rough. In fact, Meili is sometimes the one crying after their wrestling matches!
If you are Meili or Sophie, the best part of playing outside in the garden isn't actually getting super duper dirty (though that is pretty awesome), it's actually the bath you get from Mommy or Daddy when you get back inside! They love picking vegetables (Sophie obviously wants me to make Fried Green Tomatoes because she keeps picking me some beautifully green tomatoes), they love digging in the dirt, and they love making rock piles, but the BUBBLES are the BEST!
