Sisters Forever
Apparently I’m taking too many pictures with the digital camera. I ran out of disk space on my computer. With a digital camera, you don’t have to send film to the lab for processing, but you do need disk space. Lots and lots of disk space if you’re one of those people who keeps every photo. Like me. I have hundreds of blurry pictures of the kids and I can’t part with a single one of them.
Anyhow, I was going through my photo archives when I came across the picture below. It’s a photo of our two girls. Aren’t they cute together? The Little Princess and the Little Monkey have a special relationship. At times, the Little Princess is like a mini-mommy. She helps her little sister wash her hands before dinner. Comforts her when she is crying. Helps her with the high chair. She reads books to her. Sometimes, the Little Princess even talks like she is mommy. Hopefully their special bond will last a lifetime.
The girls’ special connection doesn’t seem to extend to their brother. Spiderboy is like a pest them. They get along with him at times, but he also annoys them a lot. The brother-sister bond is fairly weak compared to the sister-sister bond in our family. Why is that? The two youngest ones are not in school yet, so they spend the most time together. Shouldn’t they have the closest relationship?

You are going to find that their relationships between each other change all the time… give those girls another 8 or so years and the little one is going to be a pest to the bigger one… the boy is always going to be a pain to them… until he is much older! Then when you least expect it, they will all love each other and get on famously! For a while!!! Nothing lasts, it’s always changing.. I should know, having 8 of all different ages and stages. Oh the joys!!!!!!
I sure hope they will all eventually love each other. Even better if it happens when they are still kids.
Could be that they’re kindred spirits, too. The relationship between females is fickle, and between sisters can be even more subject to change.
I’m betting the relationship between the two little ones will develop more over the years. The sister-sister bond will as well.
Are you saying my son won’t always be a pest to his sisters?
Well, in some ways he will, but I just know my little boy is so very close to his sister. Maybe because it’s just the two of them, but I think Spider Boy will stop being a pest at some point in time. Then he’ll do it just to get a rise out of them!
I think it will be many, many years before there is peace in our household.
Why don’t you transfer over you pictures to CD…then you can pop it in, pull them up whenever you want, or print them out…..that’s what I do with mine…or did, until my camera got stolen…
Yes, it is wonderful that your daughters are so close…but as stated, it will change over time, and include their little brother….
I was not close to my brother growing up, but now, as adults, we have a very close relationship.
My CD burner no longer works. I’m hoping to replace my pc this Christmas. It’s 7 years old and falling apart. Kinda of like my body.
I’m the same way with my pictures. I have thousands, and many of them are of very poor quality, but I just can’t delete even a blurry version of my baby’s face.
I love the picture of your girls. They are so sweet! Being an only child and mother of one, there’s a lot about sibling relationships I just don’t get. When these new baby comes, I’ll guess I’ll learn!
I think you, Julia, and Dave will love having two kids. If you’re like my wife, you’ll want a third one too.
Sister sweetness.
Keep smilin!
I hope they will always have that special bond.
You’d have to be a girl to understand the very unique and wonderful relationship between sisters. The brother closeness will come, but later in life. I speak from experience :O)
OK, I’ll take your word for it. I never had a sister.
Good picture! Sometimes I feel sorry for my youngest. He’s definitely the odd man out since my daughter went to school last year. I’m hoping that will change when he goes to kindergarten next year.
That will be my youngest daughter situation next year when my son starts kindergarten.
Brothers have a bond with each other, too. Perhaps you need another boy.
With my luck, we’ll end up with another girl. Then I have to give up my home office beceause the girls’ room is too small for three people.
Sisters do have a special bond that is like no other. Me and my sister fought like cats and dogs when we were coming up, now we are the best of friends.
But on the other hand my two boys have a very close bond. They have this funny way of talking to each other that I don’t always understand, but they know what they are saying to each other. They make up funny alternate words for stuff. Weird.
Such a sweet picture.
My kids have not created a funny language, but my oldest daughter understands my jokes when my wife doesn’t.
Hey, Daddy O…you have been tagged…come see me!
