The sibling bond

When I think about my own sisters and how much I love them NOW I know it started from very young childhood and of course there was a time when I thought maybe I didn't love them.  (You know, when they are telling your mom on every move you made when you were trying to make every mistake in the book. Of course it was love that compelled them to tell.)


Ok.. Back to what I was going to say..

Carter and Addison love each other in a very special way.  They do fight over toys, and books and if we are watching the Transformers or Dora The Explorer! In recent weeks, Carter has started school which I thought would make Addie happy to have free range of the house! OH NO! Quite the opposite, she roams around saying, "Cawduh, Bubba, Carduh". She wouldn't nap the other day while he was at preschool without his very special White Blankie.  And today carter is sick so I sent him upstairs to rest in my bed while Addie was playing down here, and she threw down because she wanted to go upstairs to be with carter!  And now as the evening is winding down, carter is still laying on the couch pitifully and Addie is laying with her head next to his, and gently massaging and rubbing his head and ears. 

 I am so happy they have each other to love and bond with.

And, again,  to reflect back to my own childhood my sisters were always loving and caring in the times that were the most important. When I was sick, and when I was scared I could always count on comfort from them. I love them so much today for being awesome then and now!
