This scene is a common one in our house these days.  Not the  playing on the easel, but one sister doing something and the other sister doing the exact same thing.  They are like one another’s shadows, doing whatever the other does.

Emma & Brooke are 29 months apart.  A good space in my opinion, and it has been recently that they are playtime companions more than competitors. However, as I write this post, they are doing a puzzle together & Emma is teasing Brooke & giggling about it.  And Brooke’s response:  “Emma…I’m big now!  I’m big!”  ….back in a sec…………..okay, argument settled.

I am so thankful that they are usually each others’ friends, and not fighting more than they get along.  Emma teaches Brooke all the things she knows, and Brooke is Emma’s constant encourager & hug giver.  I hope that they can look back on this photo one day and see that sisters can be friends too.
