The sibling relationship is blooming!

The other night I was rocking Trent and Mariah, which is quite normal for our bedtime routine. Trent usually drinks his bottle and drifts peacefully off to sleep. After I lay him down I tuck Mariah into bed and that is all. The whole process usually lasts 30 -45 minutes. The other night was different and not in a bad way. Trent finished his bottle and decided to be silly. He popped the bottle out of his mouth and sat up and looked at Mariah and made a silly sound. She did it back to him and this went on for a few minutes. Trent would knock Mariah in the head with his bottle and then laugh (his laugh is so stinkin' cute it makes me chuckle a little). He would pull her hair and laugh when she told him to stop. This silliness went on for over an hour. It was such a beautiful moment to see the two of them really interact like brother and sister. I have seen Trent's love for Mariah grow so much lately. Every morning while getting ready we call out to Mariah, sister as we call her, and she has to come in and tell him good morning. He just glows when she comes in. I know they are going to have some quarrels as they get older but I pray they have a close relationship like me and my brother and sister.
