(Picture taken July 2007)
The other night as we were getting ready to go to bed, Dannik refused to give Markay a hug. It really hurt her feeling. She got over it quickly as I offered to give her an extra hug from me. Dannik, it seems, didn't. As I was tucking the kids in and doling out more kisses and hugs, Dannik was looking grumpy.
"Dannik," I asked, "why are you grumpy?"
"I'm not grumpy, Mom. I'm sad".
"Why are you sad?" I inquired.
"Because I feel bad inside."
"Why do you feel bad inside?"
He started to tear up and then said, through his tears, "Because I didn't give Markay a love".
What a sweet little guy! I am so thankful that he loves his little sister and cares about how she feels ...most of the time. Feelings were mended as he got up on the bed and gave Markay the hug and kiss he'd refused earlier.
