Unfounded Fears

Being pregnant and adopting, I felt like I was constantly living in fear of when both babies were home.  And then after TT was born, I was in constant fear of being able to give TT enough of my time when her older brother came home.  And being able to give Nur enough time and energy when he got home.  I worried about how they would interract.  I worried about how close in age they would be. Okay, I pretty much worried about everything.

I'm so happy that these babes of mine really love each other.  T and I were actually commenting over the weekend that TT probably has no recollection of life without the Nur.  Afterall, she was only 3 months old when he came home. 

These two are truly bonded, and truly love each other.  Yesterday, TT was throwing a tantrum about something, and she was laying on her back and kicking her legs.  Nur came up to her, and patted her belly.  It was the sweetest thing ever. I also often find him patting her back. . . like he sees his mama do. It's so cute!

And over the weekend, on one of our many walks, TT patted Nur on the head in the stroller, and then Nur turned around, and they proceeded to hold hands. 

At the dinner table, they sit across from each other and "talk."  TT tries to tackle Nur a few times a day to give him hugs.  They laugh at each other and giggle. 

And I sit back and am so grateful that my fears were unfounded and that these two being siblings was the best thing for both of them.
