After lunch I asked if they wanted to have a 'family shower' before naps. They get a real kick out of coming into the 'big shower' and playing with toys under the 'rain'. No one slipped and they had a great time. As soon as they got out I wrapped Eli in a towel and Maddux hugged him from behind and they walked into the other room that way - hugging. I could not believe how sweet they were being with each other. And when I put lotion on Maddux, she put some on Eli's feet. And when I put it on Eli, he rubbed some on her arm. Then Eli offered to help Maddie put her shorts on. It is really neat when you see your children help others - it reminds you that they listen to every thing you say and really absorb it. Eli's dialogue with Maddux as he was trying to help her was like listening to myself when I help him. We finished up with a story on the couch and a round of hugs and kisses. Eli said something about loving to be with his sister because she was his best friend. (MELT!!) And they both gave me the biggest hugs ever, and Eli told me, "I really love you, Mommy." I was tempted to slip them some NyQuil so they'd sleep from 2PM through the night. It was such a perfect day that I kind of wanted it to end right there....
