Happy Together in 2016

Only a few days have passed in the New Year and I haven't really talked about what our goals might be for this year.

Just looking at these pictures from the first few days make me want to help you continue this "healthy relationship" for years to come. That is to be kind to one another and find happiness together.    

So here's my goal for you two...is to be happy in the New Year, but be happy with each other by being kind. 

-I want you to take turns, but be willing to let the other one go first and discover how good it feels

Keep working on communicating and not grabbing! Ask if you can help or find ways for the other to be involved in what you are doing 

Be a teacher not a yeller/coach. I think this skill will come in handy for the rest of your life. Jacob, you have picked this one up from your dad...now just pass it into your sister, while getting rid of the yelling

 Realize that it is more fun to laugh and create memories with someone else. You can't have a foot fight by yourself! 

Find ways to share attention from us and try not to drive us crazy at the end of the day! I love your laughter during the wrestling hour, if only it could come without the tears. 

Happy being happy in 2016!
