have i ever said how glad i am that i have two girls? ok, i would have been happy with boys, but now that i have girls, i am so very very thankful that God made me a mom of girls. you see, i have a sister myself and that bond between sisters is so sweet, special, and different than any bond could be.
much like my sister and myself, my girls are completely different from each other, yet the bond they have already formed is unreal. they laugh. they cry. they pinch each other and pull each others hair. they play barbies. they play puzzles. and, my favorite, is when they cuddle up to watch cartoons together.
i love their bond and wouldn't have it any other way, but i do spend time constantly wondering how two children from the same parent could be so different. my sister and i are the perfect example. she is short and has always had straight blonde hair and i'm tall and have always has curly dark hair. not to mention, our personalities are as different as the sun and the moon.
now, my girls ... they do have similarities, but their differences outweigh those.
mykah - she is my clown. she's always laughing, always being silly. she's a meat-eater and loves sweets. she sucks her thumb 24 hours a day and carries her "gankie" as well call it. she'd be content to sit and read books every waking hour. she is very shy and it takes her quite a while to warm up to anyone.
karsyn - she is independent. very independent. and always has been. she likes to keep things realistic, but likes to be silly. she doesn't care for meat at all and prefers chips and crackers over the sweet stuff (gets that from me). she is very smart and loves to learn new things. she pretends to be shy, but loves attention and talking to people. she's my outgoing one, much like my sister.
as different as they are, they love each other. they love the interaction and they look after one another. i cannot wait to see how their relationship develops over the years and to see what sweet sisters they become even more.
