Sibling love

As they are growing up, I wonder (watching their daily tantrums and complains about each other) whether they will have a lil bit of affection as well for each other.

Both Cuckoo and Sunny are growing up to be fairly independent and sweet kids. And as siblings are they start sweetly but end up arguing and doing "katti" with each other.

On a particular Sunday evening three of us Me, Sunny and cuckoo walked out of the house, planning to go veggie shopping and enjoy some tender coconut water.

As usual, the discussion starts as soon as step out:

Sunny : Mumma, lift or stairs?
Cuckoo : Lift. I already pressed the button (as in I already called the lift)
Sunny : I am not asking you.
Cuckoo : Mumma, see how is baba talking?

Me : Please don't talk like this to each other. Please talk nicely (in a stern voice. Both are quiet).

Sunny : (whispers) Cuckoo, do you want to go out and play?
Cuckoo : (whispers) ask mumma?
Sunny : (whispers) you ask.
Cuckoo : (whispers) your turn to ask mumma.

Me: If you both would like to go and play do so. On my way back, I will pick you both up.

As soon as the lift stopped, they both ran out of the lift. I kept shouting "careful, careful, careful".

In that instant, Cuckoo stopped and told Sunny "hold my hand, we will go together to play."

I say to myself "Sibling love!!! They are gonna be alright now on."

Luv
Mumma
