Favorite

One fact about Lachlan is that he has a favorite blanket. It is a blue soft blanket with turtles on it that we have had since he was born. He even calls it favorite! It has two turtles and two fish on the front. Lachlan always tells us that mommy and daddy are the turtles and he and Ridley are the two little fish. He never sleeps without it and he carries it around with him. It's so special to him! 

This evening Ridley fell asleep randomly while playing on her activity mat. Lachlan saw that she had fallen asleep and ran to get favorite and brought it to cover her up with. He tucked her in and left favorite there without us even mentioning it to him. This was really incredible to witness because this was truly a selfless act by my three year old. Anyone that knows Lachlan knows how serious he is about this blanket...he gets upset if we even touch it. Ridley really must be special to him for him to do that. 

As Lachlan and Ridley grow up, I hope that he continues to love and care for her as fiercely as he does now. He makes me realize that we have done something right in parenting him because of the way that he treats her. They are both such amazing little people!
