Best Friends

Elem and Cecilia have been turning into quite the Best Friends lately. They have always been such great friends but it seems that every single day they just become closer and closer and you can see it at the funniest times. The weather has been really nice here so lately it has been outside in Ali and Dustin's backyard, just playing on the swing set or as you can see from the video below, just playing with dirt! They communicate so good to each other, it is almost heart breaking to watch them have conversation together, all by themselves! They arent supposed to be having conversations together yet!!! They are growing up so fast, and being only 3 months apart has allowed them to pretty much grow up right at the same pace. For now, Elem has taken the role as the leader of the 2. :) I often catch him out of the corner of my eye, telling Cecilia what to do, or taking a toy over to her and trading her for her toy, that he is wanting, and telling her that this is Sissy's toy and the one he wants is Elem's toy. Cecilia is a little bit quieter but once she gets going, she does say a lot. And once she gets to giggling, there is no stopping that girl! They really do love being around each other, and even though one of them always ends up accidently hitting the other in the head with something, or pushing the other off the couch, they still turn right around and are best friends no matter what. They are really god at apologizing these days too! Which is so great to see. I often hear Elem say, "I sorry Sissy...its okay." or Cecilia say, "I sorry Elem Zane."

For now they refer to each other in their own special way...Elem calls Cecilia "Sissy" and Cecilia ALWAYS calls Elem, "Elem Zane". She just called him "Zane" for the longest, so it is a step in the right direction. We are just so thankful for Sissy and love to watch them grow together. It is really nice to have a cousin right around the same age. Guess it is an automatic friend right around the corner at any given time.

Here is some good ole play time in the backyard..2 BFFs just enjoying the afternoon. Please excuse Elem's outfit, his teacher at school dressed him very 70s to enjoy the sprinkler fun outside!
