Gratitudes 451-460: Sisters Edition



451.  Our two girls are sisters and best friends. 

452. They play in the same room at all times.
  
453. At meal times, they scoot their chairs right next to each other.

454.  When Claire finds Sophia's cup or favorite things on the ground, she runs instantly to bring them to her sister. 

456.  Sophia ensures that Claire is never left out.  If we are talking about plans to do anything, she reminds us, "And Claire too, right?"

457.  Sophia acts like a goof-ball, and Claire laughs....every single time.

458.  Sophia uses her special sing-songy voice to soothe Claire when she cries.  Claire pats Sophia on the back when she cries.

459.  If Sophia eats her veggies, Claire does too.  (Thank you, Sophs!)

460.  We are slowly forgetting what it was like not have all this crazy, beautiful laughter filling our home.

Our girls don't see culture, biology, or race when they see each other.  They see only their sister.

This is SO sweet. When you took the picture of Sophia holding Claire's hand in the snow it was obvious that Sophia looks out for her little sister. We are so pleased with Sophia and with Claire for bonding with her big sister. Smiling and proud PaPaw!!
