Thys and Ellie

Thys and Ellie
Ellie is on the verge of crying in this photo. Often her older brother tends to gently push and softly hit her. She cannot be around Thys for too long before she starts to cry. Infact she usually starts to cry before he touches her. I think it is a reflex now. She just expects him to hurt her in some way and she is trying to tell us he is coming in her direction and we need to do something about it.

Today I saw Ellie looking at Thys without a murmur. Infact she was smiling and having fun until he poked her in the eye! It will get easier with him and his boy-like self at least I hope for Ellie's sake. Thys can be very sweet, mild tempered and a fun play-mate.

"Until he poked her in the eye" I know that its not supposed to be funny, but I laughed only because Trevor is just the same. These boys me be the end of us. By the way I love that you call her Ellie.
