The Sweetest Six Year Old on the Block

I forgot to mention that while we were in Texas in August, we all got at one point or another this nasty one day stomach bug.  Mia was the first victim.  I found her upstairs at Papa and Nana's house laying in bed quietly and when I asked her if I could get her anything she just asked for some hot tea with honey.  As I was leaving, Lennon on my hip, Mia looked up so sweetly and said "I'm so happy we have Lennon.  I'm glad we decided to have another children."  I could have eaten her up right then and there.  It's so awesome that they love eachother so much.  Yesterday she was blocking him from putting non-trash items into the diaper champ and he reached out and pinched her.  On purpose.  It was sad and she cried a little, but more out of hurt feelings than out of pain.  He is definitely a different person than she is.  I guess that goes without saying, but every day is like a new adventure in parenting for me.  I was noticing this morning at the playground that he is a lot more tenacious that she ever was.  She would try to get up on something for about 2 seconds before asking for help whereas he tries and tries until he either gets it or moves on.  On the other hand if she asked for something and was told no she would move on whereas he would buckle his knees and scream for the next fifteen minutes out of protest.  Ahhh, tenacity.  What a gift.
