M and B

Brady and Mallory are getting along famously. They are two peas in a pod at school. Mallory actually got put in time out because she tried to escape to another area where Brady was playing. I didn't see this camaraderie coming. I figured they would ignore each other and carry on with their business. Instead, they wash their hands together, hang their back packs and grab each others check in tags. Mallory forgot to check in properly the other morning and Brady quickly picked up her slack.
I am so grateful 3 years ago my midwife said "suck it up and have another baby!" Seriously! Jeff and I made our minds up that Brady would be our one and only. Thanks to that frank and honest piece of advice Miss Mallory is currently on the scene.
I couldn't ask for a better sibling for Brady. She is nurturing, feisty, a translator and partner in crime.
She keeps Brady on his toes.
They are equally silly.


I refer to Mallory and Brady as my faux twins. Most people assume they are actual twins and give me a funny look when I tell them they are 2 years apart, not 2 minutes.
I know there will come a day when Mallory surpasses our boy, but I'm pretty sure she won't leave her wing man behind.
 This boy has earned a special place in her heart.
(this is our sweet neighbor, she is so lovely and patient with our kids).
