Getting Along...Precious Times

On most days I can feel like I am constantly disciplining Madison and Carson for not sharing, for pushing, and for various other reasons. They can get into it so easily and provoke one another so quickly. Madison used to be able to easily "control" Carson to some degree by force but Carson has toughened up. He doesn't just stand there and take it anymore...he pushes or pulls right back. And Carson has been getting into trouble lately for not being gentle with Jason. Since Jason now spends a good amount of time on the floor he is easily in dangerous territory. So I've finally captured some pictures and videos of the 3 getting along. This will be a post that I will come back to often for some encouragement.

Madison carefully feeding Jason his bottle.
Those who have interacted with our children know that they don't sit still for long. They are typically on the go so it's rare that I can capture some shots of them sitting still and sitting together.
Yes, we need to work on the saying "cheese" pose!
Carson and Jason enjoying some extended play time together and working so well at sharing.

Madison and Carson are also learning to play together and cooperate. Just the other day as I was busy around the house Madison persuaded Carson to get into the rocking chair with her so she could read a story to him. Fortuneately my camera was close by and I captured the moment. It's hard to tell whether he's there by choice or because she has him in a head lock!

The last video was captured by Grammy while she was here over Labor Day weekend.
