Thanks so much for the encouragement! ...Healigan-<br /><br />Thanks so much for the encouragement! My sister is just a little over two years younger, and I couldn't agree with you more. There is a bond there that has grown stronger through the years. I look forward to seeing how my two boys connect. Only a few weeks left!Jennifer Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459363843692965338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339910176549966696.post-84534732740985189362010-07-26T18:28:06.372-04:002010-07-26T18:28:06.372-04:00i have three daughters--and the youngest is now 18...i have three daughters--and the youngest is now 18, so this was awhile ago. I quit my job to stay home, which meant hand me downs were assumed. And I worried about not enough "me" to go around too, but something really cool happened while they were wearing each others' clothes. Though I could not spend the time with number three that I took for granted with numbers 1 &2 (we had adopted them together, so I never had your angst of only child becoming older sibling), they spent time with each other when I was busy taking care of them. Number three learned so many things from her big sisters that I thought could only come from me. They relationships that they developed as toddlers and then school girls last until this day. And some of your mom time will be with "the boys" together, not alone, it's true. There is a true benefit to being someone's sister or brother, and it starts when you are tiny, somewhat the same as when you marry: what's between you becomes almost more important than your separate selves. It will be cool, I promise.Healiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198319344895178005noreply@blogger.com
