Sibling love

After being together for almost 22 months, I am starting to see Yoshi & Kiharu truely enjoy each other's company.

Yoshi is much more willing to share everything (the train station is still a highly sensitive territority, but allow visitor with caution ^_^). He would also say "Ki-chan, play with me", almost as if he begs her to play with him. (He would be sad if she doesn't response)...... He also protects her like a big brother in front of strangers. He would make sure I don't forget about Kiharu when we were buying snacks or simply getting a sticker at the grocery check out counter. He would ask about her when she's not around.

As for Kiharu, she is much more expressive with emotions and wordings. She could make a few words (water, hurt, body parts, "brother", "mama", "Otousan", grandparents...) or she would shake her head to let you know what means NO. She would point at things she want to get or to do. She understands much more than we think.

They love having each other. They would make silly laughs, silly sounds & dance together. They would shout at each other, grabbing things from each other, but they would also apologize, hug and kiss each other to make up. Even when they take turn to get shower in the bathroom, they would wave to each other (as one steps into the tub & the other one wait outside). They would clap hands to encourage each other during mealtime.......

Being parents, it's very comforting to know they love each other. It took a while to get to this stage, there were struggles and patiences from everyone. We look forward to many more of their sweet moment together.... xoxo

The other day while cooking, I saw these quiet moment.......Yoshi was trying to put a hairclip on Kiharu's hair. Not only was Kiharu laying still, she seems VERY comfortable (while I was worrying if he would poke her head with the sharp hairclip, but I just sat back and enjoy watching them, let them figure out on their own)

(well, it's not about how it looks at the end, but the love in between)

Yoshi's has a Pajama Day at school, he was so looking forward to that. He couldn't believe he could wear his PJ to school ^_^ Students brought their pillow, blanket, stuff animal.... got to watch a mini movie while laying on the floor, enjoying snacks (like a movie theater experience).... who wouldn't want that?!
