Three in Three


It is beautiful.


They are peeling with laughter,


Tripping over one another in Twister,


Giggling to choking over popcorn at brother jokes.


Slap happy.


They are asking for a brother sister sleepover.


They are breaking one another's Lego ships and saying it's ok, it's easy to fix.


They are bitter enemies and united allies.


They are sharing their stories of sadness and sharing their glories of accomplishment.


They are doing everything they can to be like one another,

 

And yet everything they can to distinguish themselves as the best.


A sibling team.


They are three kids in three years.


More than we could handle and more than we expected.


A crazy gift of joy and chaos in every moment.


The diapers, the accidents, the naps faded away to an energy unparalleled.


Oh that their laughter would echo decades from now.


That their joy might lift up one another's life in the every day.


This team of monkeys.
