Being a sister is serious business

The responsibilities of a big sis are to be taken seriously. I mean you have a little sister to look after. You must protect her, watch out for her, help her. As I glanced upon my girls tonight, watching Hazel feed her sister rice/beans, then gently place a straw in her mouth so that she can drink milk...to wash it all down...I saw that Hazel takes her job as big sis, very seriously . For example, if I were to give Hazel oh...say...a cracker, instantaneously she would say, "you need to give Jade one too mommy!". She has a innate desire to always watch out for Jade. I have learned how to be a better big sister, from my daughter Hazel. Learning from the most sincere and purest actions of a child is mind blowing...it is enlightening, humbling and truly amazing. So, my baby sister snapped some photos of my girls at our Starbucks during her visit...which I feel accurately depict how deeply Hazel cares for her sister Jade...they are turning out to be total bffs (not to say they don't have about 1000 tiffs a day and that Hazel doesn't occasionally mistaken her sister's arm for a big juicy steak, usually a barbie or little person is involved)...

I have been emotionally, physically, and mentally drained for the last 9 days while Joe was in Cali and have been just barely able to stay sane so I have not been able to post. I emphasize, very seriously, the word BARELY in my last statement. Let's just say I truly respect, and give mad props, to all the single moms out there (including my momma)....holla.
