Siblings In January 18

It may be a new year but these two are continuing the current trend that began in the Christmas holidays of being thick as thieves.

It's both heart warming and a nightmare, tbh.

Lily makes Archer belly laugh twenty four seven and it's my favourite thing but in the same vein it's usually from her doing something naughty entirely for her little brothers amusement.

It's like all of a sudden they're a team. In cahoots.

Partners in crime that are constantly coming together to plot something that they think they can keep hidden from us. I often hear them nudging each other and whispering. Planning their next scheme. Which is usually stealing dry cheerios out of the cupboard and taking them to their den to share out between them, or else getting out a toy I've told them is too messy to get out as soon as my back is turned.

This is my favourite stage by far and just how I imagined my little family to be, all those years ago. These two seem to love each other fiercely and if this is a glimpse into their relationship in the future then it's a future I'm damn looking forward to.
