Without a doubt having our girls and watching them care for one another as sisters has been the greatest joy of my life, but I’m pretty certain this dialogue with Robin sums up the past six months and foreshadows the next 30+ years…

(R laying on the couch in deep thought for 5 minutes or so)
Me: Robin, what’s wrong?
R: Mommy I feel sick.
Me: What’s making you feel sick?
R: My sister.

And last week in Arizona my parent’s took us to Red Robin for lunch. Well, Lilly wasn’t too happy about going to a restaurant that shared a name with her sister, so she insisted that we were going to ‘Red Lilly’. Yes, there is certainly a competitive side to being sisters that we are just now beginning to witness. There are times when they play beautifully together and help one another out in ways that make us very proud, and there are times when they can’t be left alone together for one minute. I suspect it will remain this way for a long time – never a dull moment to say the least 🙂
