Holding Hands

Turns out Ella had Roseola, which is a common virus that 6 month-2 yr. olds get. Her rash is all gone and she is back to her normal self. She has been very accident prone lately. Yesterday we were playing with a shape sorter and Alex got excited and picked it up, hitting her in the nose and she had a bloody nose. Then they were chasing each other around the dining room table and she turned fast and hit her head on the edge of the table. There were a few other things, it just seems this age is one accident after another! Alex too. He is bumping his head and climbing things. Sometimes when they are both walking down the stairs in the morning or from nap, they hold hands with one another. The other day, Ella was playing on a wagon and fell face first, her nose bled and she is still bruised from it. We felt really bad for her. We always have them hold hands when we walk into church, because one of us has Austin and the other has the two, so its easier if they are all holding hands. Plus when we are out walking together, we have them hold hands as they hold ours when we cross the street. Now they just do it automatically, today when they left the house they were both holding hands. It was so sweet. Then When we have snack and Ella is at her high chair, she says, BUBBIE, BUBBIE! She wants to be sure he knows its snack time. Other times she will bring him his bib. Or if I get them a drink, she yells for Bubbie to come get his or sometimes she will bring it to him. They really are the best of friends. Other than normal brother sister spats, they are really good to one another. I am so glad they have each other, especially when I need to take time to feed Austin, I put them in the play room and they play so well together. MOST OF THE TIME. I guess they can't be perfect little angels all the time. : )
