a little background.....about a year ago avery made a "no sister's allowed" sign to hang on her door.....
we had a little talk...maybe a bit of a lecture...about how that would make her feel
how it would hurt her feelings if someone hung a sign on their door that said that she couldn't enter.....
it was decided at that time that the note would not adorn her door...and we would put it away with all of her other art work....
mind you...this was when avery was 5 and adilyn was 2
so the note was put away and was not thought about again....at least i had forgotten about it...seemingly i was the only one who forgot about it!!!!
from the pictures below you will deduct that avery's long lost note is not longer tucked safely away...
i go upstairs after getting home from the gym to find this:
second picture is adilyn's door.....
*please excuse the not so great pictures...the lighting is not all that desirable up there*
curious to see what the "signs" say???
written over a year ago....
in brief...it says "no adilyn" at the top and underneath it says....."yes it does...this means you" not real sure about the word order in the sentence but you get the point....
no sister's allowed!!!!
avery decided she was going to hang that on her door this morning while i was making sure the lunch box was in her book bag, my water bottle and towel were in my gym bag and i had my purse and keys and everything else i needed....so it's safe to say that i was not paying 100% attention to exactly what she was doing....
in retaliation and with a few...ok A LOT of hurt feelings adilyn decided she was going to hang her "no sister's" allowed sign...
it looked like this:
what is that you ask?
it is a big monster....please note that there are two different "people" in this picture...
and inside the belly of the big monster is avery....
adilyn explained with a look of innocence on her face and sweetness in her voice that avery tried to go into her room so the monster ate her....
so as i sit here and the girls are in bed with their "no sister's" allowed signs hanging on their doors i giggle to myself....
i know that they are not going to get along with each other all of the time....
i know that there are going to be bruised feelings....
shouting matches.....
"borrowed" clothes......
"lost" make-up or nail polish or whatever coveted item one or the other has...
arguments over who's turn it is....
tears and contention between the two....
but there is also going to be hugs and hand holding....
giggling and laughing together only like little girls can do...
playing and creating and imagining taking trips together to far off lands that only the two of them will journey to....
sharing secrets that will be kept to the death...or until they are old enough they will not get in trouble from mom or dad.....
as much as these girls pick and prod and antagonize each other they have a bond that is strong and builds more and more as each day passes....
i look forward to watching them grow and develop as individuals.....but it is just as exciting to watch them grow as sisters....
a sister is a forever friend and as the girls get older i hope that they find that a sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.....
happy hump day dear friends....
