I'm thankful for what our children said last night at dinner.
We took turns going around the table each saying something we are thankful for. Our children each said they were thankful for one sibling or another, and the reasons why.
They could have been thankful for their American Girl doll, or the dollhouse, or the video games they play. But they chose each other. We try so hard to instill in our kids the ideal that friends, while wonderful, bringing what we need to our worlds, come and go, and sisters (and now brothers) remain constant, even though paths may wane and conversations halt from time to time. We hope our children can see this through their little eyes, and remember it years from now when they are big.

You are doing a great job of instilling that knowledge in your kids. Having their siblings as their best friends is, I think, every mother's dream.
