Awww... isn't it sweet. The best of friends. Here is the real story behind the pictures. Lately, Avary wants to hold Sam's hand a lot. Sometimes he's happy about it. Sometimes he's not. In the picture above Avary was taking Sam back and forth from their room to the living room. Each time they came out of their room, they both had a toy that they would set down on the living room floor in nice little rows. Sam was happy holding Avary's hand and they played together like this for quite awhile. But, we also have a lot of little fights break out these days because Avary insists on holding Sam's hand whether he wants her to or not.

After awhile they got bored with bringing toys out into the living room, and they just played in their room. I went to check on them and found them just resting on Avary's bed. I thought it was so cute, and I told Avary what a great big sister she was being to Sam because they were playing so nicely together. At that point, Sam wanted to sit up and try to get down, and Avary said something about how when Sam tries to sit up, she grabs his hair and pulls him down. Oh.

The bossy big sister is emerging.

Okay, so it's not always as sweet as it looks, but it is so cute when they are playing together and both having fun, which seems to happen more often as they are getting older.
