A toast once heard: "To my big sister, who never found her second Easter egg until I'd found my first." ~Robert Brault
"An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too." ~Pam Brown
I am so thankful my kids have each other; it is such a blessing to watch their relationships grow and see the joy and love they add to each other's lives!

Loved this post...my poor son has three older sisters (aka "Mommies). ha ha! He does love them, though, and they all ADORE him! He has totally played the Pretty Pretty Princess game, numerous times, and today they played Barbies. However, I rested a bit more assured (and a tad disturbed I must say) when left alone with said Barbie...he undressed her, looked at her a second, and then kissed her face. It was then that I asked to take Barbie back to the dollhouse. Still processing that one...not sure how I feel about it yet. :) I'll never forget what one person told me when we found out our fourth was a boy...they said "He'll be such a great husband someday, understanding women so well!" That's a great thought.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post! My son has 2 older sisters (26 & 24) - he's almost 17 now, and they are still Momma's to him. We are truly blessed to have children who love each other!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT.

ReplyDeleteHa! Found your blog from THE LIST :) - we're adopting siblings with Gladney too. I have three kids 7, 5, & 2.5 (girl, boy, boy) and my 5 year old could say almost all of those things around his 3/4 year old years. Now that he's 5, his sister ALSO knows all of the star wars movies and characters along with most of the super heroes, and I laugh a lot at the two of them. And loved your post on three kids too!
