I love watching Quincey and Maiya play together. I do not love to watch them fight together, but they seem to go hand in hand, unfortunately. Yesterday Quincey got a package in the mail with a little sticker book from his sweet Sunday school teacher. Maiya was so jealous that she burst into tears and as dramatically as she could threw herself on the floor and beat the ground with her fists.

| Q with his very own mail. |
I left her alone for a little while before I picked her up and tried to console her. While I was holding her, Quincey came and handed her the book, it made her calm down instantly. I was grateful that he was willing to let her look at it, so I told him so. He looked a little sad and said, I really didn't want to give it away, but I felt like that was the right choice to make Maiya happy. Then he suddenly got this idea. He went in his room and grabbed a book, then he went outside and left the book in between our screen door and rang the doorbell. Maiya went and picked it up, and was thrilled that she was getting some mail from her brother! This, of course became a game that they played for awhile, and it made them both so happy.
I am so grateful that they are learning to love each other and to serve each other. I have really been trying to make a point to remember these kind of great stories, because they help me to not get so frustrated when they are fighting over the silliest things. Because they really do play well together the majority of the time.
Like in this video for instance.
