There is nothing like watching the enjoyment that my (almost) 4 year old toddler, Shayla, gets out of the companionship and comraderie of her so far, closest cousin Garrett who is just a little over a year her senior. They are bonded like two little dolls that are 'super glued' at the hip. It's precious to say the least!
It's beautiful how children do not disguise or cloud their true intent or emotion: so pure, whether of a joyous or pain filled drive. There's something really beautiful and precious about that. As adults, we get conditioned to mask things in the name of operability and in the goals of 'the big picture'. There is though, a purity and a beauty in the 'full disclosure' that is a tenet of a child's world.
Watching the free flowing love and affection between these two kids is a big teacher for us big kids donning our big people's clothes.
