i just want to remember this moment because today was the first day that i truly experienced what i will probably be experiencing for the rest of my life.
it's no secret that rawley is not a huge fan of dawson. in fact, he will pretty much ignore dawson unless he has to give him a hug or kiss when he goes to bed. normally if they sit together on the couch, rawley will be sure to leave a huge buffer between the two while dawson stares at rawley smiling in anticipation of him coming up to play with him. i love seeing dawson just admiring rawley's every move.
ryan and i were getting dinner ready this weekend and rawley was playing in the play room. since dawson is totally sitting up now, we had him sitting in there with a few toys while rawley did his thing. we would periodically check on them to make sure rawley wasn't suffocating dawson or something like that. at one of our checks we see the two of them sitting together. as they were sitting there, rawley would sit behind dawson and just pat his head very gently and point to his ears and nose and would just babble a bit very softly. it was the first time i cried watching them being so sweet to one another. i notice when i'm not paying attention {like cooking dinner, etc} rawley is very sweet and attentive to dawson. even just recently, dawson was crying in his exersaucer while i was cooking dinner and rawley comes up to him and just patted him on the head very gently and walked around the exersaucer and dawson just stopped crying. it was so sweet!
watching this little demonstration of brotherly love made me truly excited for what's to come for the two of them. i really hope that they grow up best friends. i'm sure they will be pretty competitive if they decide to play sports, i'm sure there will be fights over who gets to play with what truck, who gets to bat first or someone won't want to play with the other one day, but i really love seeing this between my two boys. i hope they grow up together and know that they will always have each other to lean on and they grow to have a special bond that no one else can break.
