Happy {Day 91}

(This was fully intended as yesterday's post but the video took a long time to upload. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :))

Sisters make me happy.

The budding little relationship that these two have makes me smile everyday.

I love to watch the two of them together. The big sister/little sister mojo comes completely natural to both of them. Sadie is...well, she's a little on the bossy side. Her attitude towards Ellie is 100% little mother. She's always calling her "sweetheart" and trying to "help" her - help her roll over, help her eat her food, help her play with her toys (a.k.a. taking them away and playing with them herself).

And Ellie? At only eight months, she already knows how to play the "I'm the poor picked on little sister" card. The second Sadie takes one of her toys, she immediately looks around for me and then screams in protest. But she also does everything possible to try to get her big sister's attention. When Sadie is around, Ellie fixes Sadie in her sights and screams, babbles, and waves her arms until Sadie pays attention. There is no doubt that Sadie is her idol. I can just see in her eyes how bad she wants to be able to follow Sadie around.

Here's a little video of the two of them "playing" the other morning:

And I can't do a post about sisters without mentioning my own sisters.

My little sis, Kristen, is like the coolest person around. If I had half as much talent as that girl has... well, my house would certainly be a lot prettier than it is now. :) And she can always make me laugh. She moved to California recently and we really miss her. Sadie asks me if "Aunt Kristen" is going to be there every time we visit my parents.

My sister-in-law, Ann, also deserves a mention. She's like the big sister I never had, not to mention she's super domestic and one of the coolest moms ever. I look up to her in a lot of ways and I'm really glad that I inherited her as another pseudo-sister. :)

So, yeah. Sisters of all kinds are the best. We love them around here. :)
