these two girls make me laugh every day. they can be best of friends and yet the worst of enemies... and all in a time frame of about five minutes, too. having not grown up with any sisters myself, I can only shake my head in wonder at this whole love/hate relationship thing. although at the same time, I can't help but feel a tiny twinge of jealousy.
just shy of two years apart in age, Ella insists on being the doting "mom" to Phoebe who, most of the time, is the very non-compliant "child". (we're talking stubborn and stubborn-er, here.)
well, a couple weeks ago I was observing them playing together (as I was going about my daily routine) and Phoebe was getting frustrated with the whole bossing around thing. she'd had enough. I overheard her ask Ella, "why do I always have to play with you, anyway?"
to which Ella replied, "because we're sisters!"
awww...tugs at my heart strings to see these two growing up side by side. I hope that someday they will just be the best of friends (and forget the worst of enemies part.)
-happy tuesday!
