Sisters
Have I mentioned that they are really and truly sisters? They are everything I wanted them to be- buddies, friends, inspiring to each other, life’s biggest frustration at times. And this is just the beginning. It was a big leap from one to two children. A huge leap that challenged us in ways we weren’t prepared to imagine. But oh wow was it worth i, to see them chasing each other through the house. To hear Sophie climb the stairs after Rosy’s nap to say, “Oh hi, Rosy. I’m here, Rosy!” To see Rosy lay her head on Sophie’s chest every night for a “Hught.”
Today Sophie said something to the effect of, “Oh, Little Sisters. They do everything everyone else does.”
Yep.
She also played an imaginary game with her duck, who was in the hospital with a case of swine flu.
Nothing gets past Sophie, not one thing.
Rosy climbed onto the toilet today and stood up. Fun times. Sophie still needs a stool to get onto the toilet. Rosy? Not so much. See what I mean about inspiring?
I also don’t want to forget the way Sophie says, “I need something to distract me” when we ride in the car.
Because whining sisters aren’t enough.
