Although our home is often filled with piercing shrieks of, “MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and sibling scats, the quads are finding playmates in each other.  For every shrill scream that makes me cringe, toddler cackles and chatter warm my heart.  When I feel exasperated by the bickering, I see what close bonds are rapidly forming and I am grateful.  I only hope that as the quads grow they continue to enjoy each other’s company and love each other fiercely.

These two ladies cheered on their brothers during the riding toy races.

The compassion they have for each other is undeniable as well.  It’s a well-known fact that a kiss from Mommy or Daddy heals any boo boo, but a sibling’s kiss will also do the trick.  If someone is picking at their dinner, it’s not uncommon for someone else to spoon feed them with a little airplane “zoom zoom” for fun.

Best of all, they inspire each other to use their imagination during play and invite each other to try new things.

Mason and Harper think it’s hysterical to walk around the kitchen on their knees. As I cook dinner, one of them will start this antic and it’s not long before two boys are strutting along the kitchen floor giggling the whole way.

The four pack practiced setting their table for tea time. They served quite the spread of plastic food.

I can only imagine what is in store for these four little people.

hugs!
