We dropped Delainey off at a friend’s birthday party today, and Max began to cry when she jumped out of the car. He was so sad to leave without Delainey. It is so sweet that he loves her so much. Kynzie and Delainey tend to argue and disagree more often, but Max has a different relationship with his oldest sister. (Although, Kynzie does miss Delainey when she is gone as well and loves it when Delainey agrees to play house or school with her!)
Max even seeks out Delainey for comfort if I am nursing or otherwise indisposed during the day. Once recently when Max wanted to do something and Daddy told him no, he turned around and asked me. Mommy explained that if Daddy already said no, he shouldn’t come ask me – no is no. He then declared that he would go ask Delainey as he turned and headed into the other room. Too cute! You never know what they are thinking, and I love that he is able to fully communicate to us what is on his mind. Well, as fully as he does anyway.
I'm sure a bit of the close connection the kids have stems from our decision to home school. It is such a blessing to my heart. The little kids don’t know what it would be like for Delainey to leave every day to go to “school”. She does it right here at home. That is what is normal for Kynzie and Max.
