A Brother's blessing

So, today was another amazing day in the life of the 2 year old. We had friends come over to play, which he loves & then after his nap, he was playing great with his sister. He got off his bus & invited his sister to ride around on it.

This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. My child pays attention to & remembers more than I will ever know. I'm so grateful to have a home where love is spoken & he learns the blessings the gospel brings.
