Little Sister, Big Sister


Bailey is starting to bond with her big sister in a big way. Carmen woke up the other morning and found this scene in the girls' room. Bailey has crawled into Ellie's bed in the middle of the night to snuggle with her sister.

I've been watching them and seeing a lot of this lately, so the following came to mind:

Your bed
Your clothes
Your socks and shoes
All the things that you've passed through
Your smiles
Your songs
I'm watching you
For I've some catching up to do

Your books
Your shows
I like those too
What's old for you, for me is new
Your games
Your toys
I share with you
For I've some catching up to do

Big sis, you pave the way for me
And show me ways to play
You teach me every way to go
And tell me things to say

Your hugs
Your laugh
Our bond is true
A friendship o'er the years we'll prove
I'm always looking
Up to you
For I've some catching up to do
