Better Known As

In our house, these two are better known as...
Sassy

Spicy

Sweet
Stubborn

Sassafras
Yes, both of them, and in their own individual and unique ways.

But most of all, these two are better known as...

Sisters.

The Heck Sisters.

And they go together like...

Frick & Frack

Mutt & Jeff

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Chocolate & milk

Mac & Cheese

Bert & Ernie

spaghetti & meatballs

 

Just 21 months apart,

Abby is the big sister

Marilyn is the little one.
There is just something special about the bond of sisterhood,
from the first moment they met.

 Abby loves when Marilyn...

wakes up in the morning & she gets to say "hello"
makes her laugh
listens to her
gets cozy with her on the couch
runs, jumps, and acts silly with her.

 

Marilyn loves when Abby...

comes home from preschool on the bus

wants to hold her hand

shares her toys with her
lets her try on her clothes
runs, jumps, and acts silly with her.

 

As is the case with sisters, of any age but especially ones that are close in age,
its not always easy when...
your sister gets to do things that you aren't quite big enough to do,
your sister always "steals" your stuff,
your sister wants to "help" you with every. last. thing. and you just want to do it yourself,
your sister gets to do something first and not have to be patient and wait her turn like you do,
and your sister gets to help Mommy with {insert anything at all here}.

 

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of.
You know whatever you do,
they'll still be there.
