For those of you who aren't aware of the fact already, I don't have any natural born sisters. God has blessed with 3 wonderful sister-n-laws, but I never got to experience those girlie girl things that sisters do. When Brenda and I were first getting acquainted it took me little while to get in the swing of being a "sister". She unlike me grew up with 2 other girls one of which is a twin to her. I hear the twin things just makes the connection between sisters even stronger. So I had to get used to showing all my new clothes and "stuff" each time we would get together, i must say it didn't take me long to adjust. I guess that sister thing is in there just need the coaxing to bring it out.
Anyway the reason for my post is, this morning my two little girls amazed me this morning. Alayna likes to go and get dressed and pick out her own clothes from time to time and today was one of those days, only she didn't just take care of herself this time.....She dressed Ashlyn and fixed both of their hair. You should have seen the water bottle in action. Not only did she fix their hair she also combed eyebrows and misted their faces with water. Talk about the royal treatment.
I think thing that really spotlighted that sisterly bond today was the fact that Ashlyn was all about everything Alayna was doing to her. She would stand so patiently and let Alayna comb and spray the water as much as she liked. Ashlyn's new thing with me fixing her hair has been to say "Hurt me" as I comb and brush it. I didn't hear those words one time this morning.
I quickly snapped some pictures of the proud little duo for all of you to enjoy! I am blessed by God to have this little joys as a part of my life everyday. I also feel grateful to be experiencing the best of both worlds...I had two wonderful brothers and thoroughly enjoyed that relationship and now I am watching a beautiful sister relationship unfold in my very own home!

How precious!! I know you're so proud of your girls, and you have every right to be.
I love it! I have enjoyed watching the sisterly bond between my girls, too. They do have their "moments," but for the most part they still get along well.
Alayna & Ashlyn are growing too quickly!
Tell Alayna she did a wonderful job. They look beautiful!
How sweet! Alayna really did a good job on her hair!
That's sooo sweet ... AND sooo funny as well. I cheated and looked before reading and wondered what was up with Ashlyn's hair. LOL
Alayna already has that matronly/motherly knack that you had, huh? I love it! Please give them big hugs and kisses for me.
