Can't Get Enough Of Your Love

Mae and Whitaker just can't get enough of each other.

The two, when in the same physical space, are inseparable. This is good and bad. Good because they generally enjoy each others company, adore each other, and keep each other entertained. Also together they are absolutely adorable. It is bad because the close proximity to each other seems to end up with someone always getting hurt - intentionally and unintentionally. Even when I tell them to separate and go to their own rooms, they generally just end up in one or the other's room to commiserate together. 

I love how close they are and I love that they cherish, comfort, and care for each other. I love how they protect each other against the big and bad mommy [me] on days, which I hope translates into being partners for life. I love how they make each other laugh and are each other's friends. 

This morning when the big bad mommy reared her ugly head because I told Mae at least 10 times it was time to get dressed and she couldn't have any smoothie until she did, she went off to her room to cry with the door shut. As I was in my room getting dressed, I hear a knock on Mae's door and then hear Whit's sweet, sweet voice say, "Mae, I cheer you up." Whit repeated his words again. Then I look out at him in the hall with a smoothie in his hand. Mae opens the door and he hands her some to take a sip. 

At that moment my heart just melted into butter and I felt bad for being the big bad mommy but were so happy that they were able to defeat her with team work. 

Here are photos of them dumping water on each other's head. It went on for about 10 minutes but of course ended up with tears when Whitaker accidentally knocked Mae in the head with the colander. Always good and bad. Always the good outweighs the bad.
