If you have read my blog for any amount of time you know that we have awesome neighbors who are our family here in Idaho. Our kids have developed strong friendships that can sometimes mimic sibling relationships. It is no more evident than in how Mauryn {age 3 1/2}and their Cooper {age 2 1/2} get along. These two beg to play with each other but are very competitive with each other. Can you say strong personalities... times two!
The other day Cooper decided to hop on a scooter and cruise up and down the sidewalk.
Up until that day Mauryn had showed no interest in using a scooter. Even when her siblings would ride their scooters she would just follow along on her bike. She did not want to be outdone by Cooper, so Mauryn went to the garage, got out a scooter, and tried to keep up with Coop.
As much as these two compete with each other, they also have their very sweet moments of loving each other and being the best of friends. After their morning of racing on scooters, they spent part of the afternoon swinging side by side their laughter carrying across the yard.
As frustrating as their play time can be with the clashing of their competitive strong willed natures, there are moments like these that stick in my memory and hopefully theirs as well.
