The Tale of Two Siblings
These two Keiglets have a special little bond.
Many is the morning that I find them reclining on the sofa together, London reading books out loud to her little brother.
London keeps a list of daily activities and ideas on a dry erase board she has in her bedroom. (She’s a natural-born planner, apparently those genes are strong.)
One day I noticed her list went something like this: Play Legos. Water my garden. Bake scones. Bathe Otto.
When I asked her why she felt the need to add a cleansing routine for her young brother to her list, she responded, “When we were cuddling last night – I noticed he smells bad.”
Awesome.
For his part, the boy looks to London for extra attention. (A trait maybe not unique to a last born and an older sibling, but nonetheless pretty endearing.)
On a recent night of tuck-in rounds, I had a chat with my four year old.
“Mommy,” he said, “When London grows up – I want to be her kid too.”

This is so sweet. My Anna is my list maker.
