I LOVE You....NOT

You know, all siblings have that love-hate relationship going. Faith and Cameron DEFINITELY have it going. For the most part, they play separately. They play in the same area, but with separate things...well....except when  one happens to have something the other wants and that's when the trading I've spoken of begins. Sometimes the negotiations are peaceful and sometimes they are rather brutal. Let's see, I've witnessed headlocks, biting, pinching, hair pulling, and the classic tantrums that result in arms swinging and legs kicking. Yep, these kiddos can fight.

There's not doubt that they love each other, too.  I've often wondered if they would be protective of the other or if they would miss the other if one was gone. I think the answer to both of these things is yes. Cameron often looks for Faith in the mornings. We walked into her room one morning, and she was not there (she had already gotten up with Cody). You could tell that Cameron was confused and upset. He had this pitiful, puzzled look on his face. When we took Cameron to the cardiologist, Faith could hear him screaming in the back. My mom told me that she was all in a tizzy in the waiting room. She took off to the exam rooms to find her brother!

So, I think it's like this: Faith and Cameron can kick, hit, pinch, wrestle, and scream at each other all that they please....but that's it...no one else is allowed!  Take a look at these pics....clear indicator that it is a love/hate relationship!

The headlock....

Kiss and make up!
