Despite the insanity of having kids back to back, I’m more convinced than ever that it’s really awesome to have a sibling to grow up with. Spacing out the gap is easier on the parents but the bigger the age difference, the tougher it is for them to be best friends. I always wished I had a twin to play with, but having a brother who was a year older was pretty cool too.
As a kid, you can spend 15 minutes fussing over a baby, but after a while, you want to play with kids your age. And when you’re a teenager, it’s not cool when your 7-year-old kid sister wants to tag along on your outings with your friends, especially if you’re going out with a boy you’re trying to impress.
So I’m really glad the kids are taking well to each other.
Top 5 saccharine sweet sibling moments ever.
1. When Kirsten cries, Tru will drop his toys and go over to pat her on the head. It sometimes makes it worse but 100 points for effort.
2. Having them sit down and talk to each other. It’s like they’re having a real conversation.
3. The way baby girl gazes at Tru like he’s the coolest kid she’s ever seen. “That’s my big brother, y’all.”
4. The first thing Tru does when he wakes up is to look for Kirsten and give her a kiss.
5. On a good day, Tru will offer his precious blankie to her for 10 seconds before he grabs it back. I’m working on the duration, but sharing the blanket is a big deal because nobody touches the blanket. Nobody.
Ok, comic time!
