“He’s Talking to Me!”

04.23.2016 by Sarah //

Hes Talking to Me

I created the above image using Pic Monkey’s free photo editing website. Check them out here.)


“He’s talking to me!”

You’d expect the above sentence to be about a child finally opening up.  After all, as foster parents or adoptive parents we often have closed off children.

Nope, not even close.

It was a fight.

Between siblings.

In the backseat.

So why am I thankful? Why the celebration?

Because it was normal, oh so normal!

Finally, some sibling rivalry that was healthy.

They weren’t fighting for resources, my attention, or throwing each other off semi-trucks (Okay, so the last one is exaggerated – but you know they would if they could!).

This was normal, run of the mill, childishly irrational squabbling.

And I was thankful, oh SO THANKFUL for it!
