Who needs toys when you have siblings?
The other night, after we had gotten 2 out of 3 kids jammied up and ready for family prayer time around the coffee table, they created an impromptu game. I call it “Sibling Bridges.” Jane and Walt make their bodies into bridges between the coffee table and couch, and Harry giggles as he runs underneath.
Jane and Walt giggled so much that their little bodies were trembling as they supported their weight.
Walt thought he’d make it trickier by holding onto his jet.
Starting to lose feeling in their arms…the bridges are collapsing…
Daddy removes the bridges and declares that it’s family prayer time.
The giggling minions compose themselves and assemble around the table.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Second to a strong marriage, the greatest gift we’ve given our children is each other.
