When Little Miss Met Sweet Pea 💗A story of sisters. A story of love. 💕 Since about the year that Little Miss turned two years old, she has begged for a #sister . And for the 3 years leading up to being #pregnant with the boys, that request was made Every.Single.Day. No joke, no exaggeration. She begged every gosh darn day. Through failed attempts at pregnancy, and two painful #miscarriages , we endured the rentless requests of our innocent, unassuming preschooler. She was determined to convince us that she needed a sister. When we were finally pregnant with #twin boys, and we shared the news with her, she cried hysterically for a week because they were both boys. Of course, over the years she has grown to love and adore them, and also to fight with them incessantly as only loving and adoring #siblings should🤪. And I have always told her that she had been given #brothers so that they would have the energy to be able keep up with her. That a sister might not have had that same level of energy that she required in a sibling. (I know it’s a simplified, sexist, and ignorant explanation...but it was made with good intention and it served its purpose). And with her strong personality, I don’t know if she would’ve been as close to a sister nearer her age as she always thought she would be. I’ve always guessed they would have fought like cats and dogs. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Of course, who really knows?! But when you aren’t in charge of making those decisions, you grasp at straws to help your little ones understand why they cannot simply “have a sister”. Of course, we had also told her at times that @Walmart was out of stock on sisters the day we got her her brothers! 🤪 It was a plausible enough explanation!🤷🏼‍♀️ more in comments... #blogpost #baby #family #momlife #babyhasarrived #lovemykids #lovemyfamily #momof4 #momofgirls #momofboys #parenthood
