Sometimes we love 'em.
Sometimes we hate 'em.
But, there is nothing like a sister.
There has been a lot going on around here and I hope to get to that soon but tonight I just wanted to share one completely sweet and equally hilarious story about my little twins (who are not so little anymore- I still catch myself calling them the babies sometimes). Saige has been sick-pretty sick and I will get to that story another time. She had to go in to the doctor a few days ago and they did some blood work on her. This ended up being a pretty traumatic experience for her. Then, we had to take her back in to get a shot of antibiotics-one in each leg. I had to take Madi with us and she was very good and concerned about Saige. She sat so patiently while we talked with the doctor. Then the nurse came in, two shot needles in hand. When the first one went in and Saige began to cry, Madi started yelling, "NO! NO! NO! DON'T DO THAT TO MY SISTER!"
They stick up for each other all of the time when Brett and I try to discipline them and stuff but never before have I seen her so determined to protect her sister. She was so mad and yet so close to tears. I immediately bursed into laughter, quickly followed by tears. It was so funny and so tender all at the same time. I couldn't help myself.
When Saige told her the day before about having her blood drawn Madi said, "I don't want Saige to have blood." She started crying and then Saige started crying all over again. I have some pretty tender-hearted little girls. What a great quality to have.
It made me think a bit about my sister-my best friend. I didn't always love her growing up but there is nothing that I wouldn't do to protect her. Sisters share a special bond and I am so glad that I have one-and even more glad that my girls have each other.
