Look at this gorgeous pic of my two girls. I didn't really know what to expect when I had two girls, especially ones just 20 months apart. I only have brothers who are 10 and 7 years older and 12 years younger than me. So my daughters' world and relationship is completely foreign to me.
I'd seen the sisterly relationships others had and it was always pretty special. A built-in best friend, who you could share secrets and clothes with, giggle at bedtime with, gossip with, bicker with.
The relationship my two have has exceeded all my hopes a million fold. They simply adore each other. Sure they fight, they pinch and hair pull, they wrestle and screech, but most of the time they just want to be together. They drive me mad when they fight and I try to break it up as I usually get a: "Don't be mean to my sister!". They are at their happiest when they are together.
Every morning, when they wake they give each other the biggest hug – ready to start the day's adventures together. On the rare occasions when they're not together, they pine for each other. When they're reunited they have the most hilarious conversations: "How was the park?" "Good, how was swimming?" "Good, I saw my friends." "Oh wow! That's great"
I'm envious of their closeness, but it makes me so happy to know that for the rest of their lives they will have each other and are going to share so many moments together. I was reminded of this when I read BabyMac's gorgeous post about her sister.
I can't wait to see what their future holds together. A whole bundle of girly, twirly fun I'm sure!

Lovely. LOVELY. When I found out Harper was a girl in the delivery suite I was sad I missed out on a boy for a NANO second (cause I knew we were only going to have 2 kids) until I realised that they would be SISTERS! SISTERS! Nothing better. Those gals of yours are divine.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful posts you both wrote!
ReplyDeleteAs for your daughters, that picture says so very much ~ the best part about candids...they tell wonderful stories....
And thanks for the link to BabyMac...what a great blog!
Gorgeous pic! It is lovely having two girls, I have two sisters and when I realised my second was a girl, I was glad for my older one, they will always have each other. Sisters are special, and I am sorry you have missed out on that for yourself. It will be wonderful watching that relationship develop in your two.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was pregnant again, I hoped for another girl so that Amy would have a sister. No luck, we've got a little boy, but they're such good friends anyway. It's lovely to watch.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable. What a great picture.
ReplyDeleteWow, how wonderful that they are so close. My kids are two years apart and get along very well. They fight at times, of course, but generally are the best of friends. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI live exactly the opposite experience as I have two boys. My big boy cried yesterday when I was angry with his little brother for always stealing big brothers time with me...there are no words for this...Just love!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the sweetest blog posts ever. I have two step granddaughters who are 22 months apart. They are now almost 16 and almost 18 and still good friends. There were about two years in their early teens when they couldn't stand the sight of each other, but that passed. They even double-dated for homecoming and prom.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of photos taken from behind and so I find your photo very special.

Thanks for all your lovely comments! I think whatever combination you have the sibling relationship is always special. x
ReplyDeleteHi! Found you at Flog your Blog Friday and have added to follow! Looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous rin! Such a lovely posting on a subject Im not familiar with either! Would love to hear their little conversations in closer detail! That IS cute..xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous post! Am hoping my two will share a close bond like this :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a gorgeous post. I adore my sisters. Couldn't ask for better. And I don't even say that because I know there's a chance they'll read this...
ReplyDeleteI have two boys and so far, so promising on the brotherly love front.
Thanks for Rewinding at the Fibro! :-)
I have a brother only and was ALWAYS jealous of those with sisters but am more so now when I hear "grown ups" with sister friends. It must be wonderful to have their relationship blossom before you in this way. x
ReplyDeleteI have a brother and when I was growing up I was desperate for a sister... I do adore my brother though and we get on well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of your two gorgeous girls.
That is so beautiful. My boys are 19 months apart. They were close then had a love/hate relationship, but now they are late teenagers they are the closest of friends and truly look out for each other. It warms my heart to watch them.
ReplyDeleteWe have four girls. (2 older from my husbands first marriage) and 2 younger ones of ours. They all have a wonderful relationship and I am so jealous of them having sisters (I'm an only child). I am loving seeing them grow up and be friends as well as sisters, they will have each other forever and it is just so bloody beautiful!
