Halfway through the month already! That means it’s time to take part in siblings and here is the November 2015 sofa shot.
I love that, when Ethan is in the mood, he will now smile for you to take a photo. You do have to be quick though. After his smiling pose, Ethan is quickly at my side wanting to see the photo on the camera.
These photos are taken so quickly, I think Little E’s expression captures the moment very well!
November 2015 has brought a change in the dynamic with our sibling’s reletionship. Little E can now join her brother on the sofa when she wants. This means she can steal the iPad from him, or climb all over him, basically get on his nerves. Ethan has handled this very well, he does complain quite loudly but he doesn’t lash out.
This also means that Ethan is having to learn how to share his iPad. Little E is always interested in what is on the screen. She can get very loud if he doesn’t want to share!
We have spotted some great moments of tenderness from them this month. One morning Ethan declared ‘cuddle’ and then proceeded to throw his arms around his sister. Little E, who will happily kiss her toys but not us, randomly planted a kiss on Ethan’s cheek.
With the half term this month they got to spend a whole week in each other’s company. This was easier than in the summer holidays. Those first weeks were a bit of a battleground as they both adjusted to each other’s company again. We enjoyed Halloween activities together and an overnight stay at Legoland Windsor.
Little E was also a great help when Ethan had to visit the doctor. She helped show him what he needed to do. It was one of the most positive experiences we have ever had in a doctor’s office.
My siblings really do make me proud.
Ah, it always becomes more interesting when the little one can move about more freely! Beautiful smiles x
Thank you, it has got harder keeping them both safe at the moment. Hopefully it will get easier at some point x
I love your monthly sofa shots of your two beautiful children Jane and Ethan’s smile in this one is just gorgeous. Glad that he is learning to share with his little sister and giving her cuddles – what a lovely moment to see – and that Little E is giving kisses back. How lovely that Little E helped make a trip to the doctors easier for Ethan too 🙂
Thank you. Little E really did help, Ethan made amazing progress because of it. They have both got to learn the art of sharing lol x
Oh how wonderful! I love that they are becoming such a good compliment to each other if that makes sense, they each help each other out 🙂
It does. Long may it continue ;0) x
It sounds like you are at a great stage – one where they can interact together more, and start to play together when moods allow. She is turning into such a beautiful little lady! x
Thank you, she really has grown up so quickly this year. Suddenly we have a little lady running around. It is so lovely seeing their relationship change like this x
That really is a lovely smile from Ethan 😀 Sounds like they are getting on so well. Long may it continue!
I really hope it does too x
