Hand holding

Maddie insists on walking everywhere now, but she is still learning why she needs to hold our hands while out in public. Joseph likes to reinforce the hand holding at the sweetest of times, like when his sister is falling behind walking in to preschool. 

It melts my heart every time he stops, calls to her "come on sissy, let's hold hands!" And she willingly takes his hand and follows up down the hallway. 

It is so sweet to watch for those brief moments, until the excitement of being at school kicks in and he takes off running for his classroom. 

Maddie doesn't get upset, but runs as quickly as her little legs can move to follow after him. So cute!
