We had a bit of a rough might last night.
When I got home from class around 10, Keith was pushing for turning on the ac. I was against it, but I wanted Elinore to be comfortable so I agreed.
We went around the house shutting windows and when I got to Elinore's room, the window was loud. It startled her and woke her up screaming. That continued for a good half hour or so mostly non-stop. I gave her a sip of water and walked her around and she'd be alright for a little bit before screaming all over again.
Finally I walked her into our bedroom where we have some photos of the kids on the wall. She saw a photo of her brothers and her; their first day of kindergarten photo with me actually, and she smiled and waved at them. It was a beautiful thing.
That sibling bond is something I hope stays strong forever.
After that she had a little snack and went down easily just after midnight.
This morning when I told the boys what happened they were both thrilled. Caleb is so excited for her to say brother or Caleb or something. It's so sweet, and I know Elinore will advance whens he's ready, but the day that happens, I can't wait to see the smile on Caleb's face!
