Missing My Sis
Friday, September 21, 2007
Here's a pic of me and my little girl. As you can see, she totally soaks her clothes in drool. After it dawned on me that I've been changing her out of her sopping-wet clothes like 6 times a day, I decided that it's time for her to wear a bib on a full time basis. Duh, mom. Why didn't you think of that before??
Unlike her mommy, Scout loves to get her picture taken.
Well, we thought long and hard about giving her solids and decided to just feed her plastic dishes instead.
Actually, my sister, her husband, and their 3 kids are coming to visit in a week and my little 6 -year-old niece wants to feed Scout sooooo bad. I thought it would be okay if I pureed a little bit of sweet potato and let my niece spoon a tiny bit into her mouth, just to make her feel special. If we keep offering her solids after that cute little ceremonial Scout's-first-solids-fed-to-her-by-her-cousin bit, we will go more towards the self-feeding route.
I'm very excited about my sis and her family coming to visit. She is a little less than 2 years younger than me and we've always been extremely close. We shared a room until I was 13 years old. We were in all of the same extracurricular activities through school and often hung out with the same friends. She is my only biological sibling. I have lots of step brothers and sisters, but they all came into my life when they were already adults and I was in my late teens. I moved 900 miles away from my entire family when I was 19, so I guess I never really had a chance to get close to any of my step siblings.
My sister and I had always dreamed about growing up and having kids and living next door to each other. Our kids would be the best of friends and have sleep-overs and we'd all get together and cook hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill on the weekends. It didn't work out that way, which makes me a little sad. But that just makes the time I do get to spend with my sister even more fun. We talk on the phone almost every day and we get to see eachother "in real life" about twice a year. It's just not enough.
They get to stay for 2 weeks, but I know it'll just fly by.

What fun! Cousins are great. My sister has no interest in having kids, which makes me sad. Luckily Will's sister has a little boy a few months younger than Sam, though they live all the way across the country.
I always wanted a sister. All I ever got was a stinky older brother.
You are such a fab aunt for letting your little niece feed Scout.
BTW-You and Scout are total cutie-pies.
I hope the visit is slow and fun. I miss my sister too.
What cute photos.
She's gorgeous!! And yep! A bib can become part of a cutie's daily outfit. My DD wore one constantly. Between being a "spitter" and a "drooler" she needed one 24/7. ;)
Enjoy your sister's visit!
