My mom came over for dinner last night. She always has a little something tucked in her purse for my two girls. Tabi and Sophie ask to look in her purse almost as soon as she enters the door. It is really just a game. The "prize" is never too big. A favorite is pennies for their coin purses our piggy banks. Tonight was very special. Grandma brought over the little book "Sisters" by David McPhail. This is absolutely the cutest book I have seen describing the bond of sisterhood. The book starts out stating the differences sisters might have. "One is big, one is small.One liked to wear two different colored socks. One didn't like to wear socks at all. One liked baseball, the other found it boring.....dancing was something neither could live without!." The book ends with " But the way they were most alike was the most special way of all. Because, you see, they loved each other so very much." The illustrations are adorable. My little Tabi said, after reading the book along with Sophie, " Sophie I am so glad we didn't have a boy!." They do truly have a bond at their young ages of two and four. This book is something they will share and treasure for years to come and realize that even though they are different, they will always have each other and the most very special thing is that they love each other!
