My sister

I've been enjoying the way Chloe and Livia are interacting recently. As Livia gets older they can play together a lot more, which has it's ups and it's downs! We do get squabbling over toys and winding each other up but there are some really lovely moments.

Yesterday Chloe had a play date at a friend's house. Livia and I went to pick her up about 6 and were invited in for a few minutes. Chloe's friend is the youngest and she has an older sister; they both are really interested in Livia and were taking it in turns to show her round the house, helping her up the stairs and lifting her up to the fish tank (the mum had to step in at one point when they started fighting over her!). Chloe took this really well and seemed proud that her sister was so popular.

When we got home the girls came in and I was hanging the coats away. Out of nowhere Livia went over to Chloe and gave her the biggest hug, which Chloe was so pleased about. They were standing there for a few moments, Chloe's face pressed into Livia's hair. I have the image of it really clearly in my head (part of me wanted to run to take a picture but I just enjoyed it instead). 

It didn't take long before Chloe took something Livia was playing with again and Livia was shouting 'share! Mine!', but it's so special to have little moments of sisterly love. I have no idea how to cultivate it so I am going to just pray that God does it for me! Any tips anyone has then please let me know.
