Sweet sister.

As most of you know, Hobbes is a bit OCD. For the most part, I think this is a great quality with him, as he pays strict attention to detail, takes time to make things right, and does it all the way-again, usually. Not always if his task is picking up the toys instead of building an elaborate train track. Madeline loves to help Hobbes with his 'projects.' When he builds tracks, she gets so excited and happily brings different pieces, attaches them, and then doesn't mind when Hobbes re-attaches them somewhere else. The other night, while Bray and Hobbes were running an errand at the store, I came into the kids' room to find Madeline had lined up all the blocks and cars in perfect order-just how Hobbes likes it. She was so pleased, and couldn't wait to show him when he got home! What a sweet sister!
