Hand!

Just a quick post on something so sweet. Lillian and Eleanor are usually best friends. Lately Eleanor has decided she can ask lillian for help and trusts her to help her. They were both up on our outdoor playset platform up high, and Elle has just realized just how high it really is. She usually wants mama or dada to help her walk to the slide. Well lillian was up there with her so I asked lillian to hold her hand to the slide. She did the first time, then every time after. She loved helping her! She even said "oh its ok baby, I coming, ill hold your hand. I'll help you" when Eleanor started asking for us when lil wasn't up there.

We were driving the other day and Eleanor was saying "I yant hand, I yant hand" over and over. I looked back and they were holding hands. So sweet.

Just today lillian was singing an awesome version of Jesus loves me up on our car platform and Eleanor wanted up. She asked lillian for her hand, lillian quickly stopped singing and didn't hesitate to help. They also decided the water play table was a fun pretend pool (no water in it). Lil can easily climb in and out but Elle is a tad too short. First I heard Eleanor ask lillian for help ("I yant help!"). Then lillian tried to pick up Eleanor to put her on the table (unsuccessfully). Lillian didn't give up. I could see her wheels spinning. She went into her playhouse, got out a kid sized chair, and put it right in front of the table. She then took eleanors hand and helped get her on the table (over and over too, since Elle thought that was fun!). I'm just amazed at their love and trust for each other at this age. They are so lucky to have each other as best friends, and baby three will be another life long best friend.
