before she gave out a large giggle and started crawling towards Ethan. Once she reached him, Ethan scooped her up and embraced her tightly. Evelyn's bond with her brother was stronger than that was with us and I had absolutely no regrets. They are always joined at the hips. She even used to throw tantrums when Ethan uses to leave for school but now she is somewhat used to
