Little Buddies

So one thing I do want to remember about Blaise in this season is how special his relationship is with Lieren.

They are just little buddies, those two. 

After we drop Simeon and Lieren off at preschool, Blaise will often say softly and wishfully, Mommy, I miss Lee-yen. And I will gently remind him that we will have her back soon. 

They have little games they play together. One of their favorites is The Puppy Game. They will have to explain it to you sometime. 

They are happy and content together and rarely argue between them. Whenever I have just those two, I relish the bliss of it. They are quite a pair. 

They are closer is size and looks than Lieren is to Simeon, which is so very interesting to me; a fascinating study and another day. 

I actually love that Lieren has a special relationship with each of her brothers. As someone who always wanted a brother, I can appreciate what she has in them. But for these days... this season... this bond is unique.
