Kaia holding hands above head. Singing, "Heaven and Nature Sing" at the top of lungs. Her very own version. Loud. In the bathroom, very loud.
Elliot, disgruntled by the sounds. Eyeing sister as if sister were an alien. Sometimes I wonder. Apparently, Elliot does too. Elliot sipping on "tea" in her tea cup - actually bathwater that I repeatedly ask her not to drink.
Kaia stands up. Gets the Look from mom. Sits back down. It's not safe to stand in the tub.
"And heaven and nature sing..."
These two - silly and tiresome, creative and exasperating.
Messy. Cranky. Frustrating.
Beautiful. Innocent. Unique.
Hilarious.
Obnoxious.
Sweet.
Gifts. Who knows how long I will be gifted these. I am grateful for the time I have with them.
Blessed.
And blessed.
