Big and Little

Keagan gracefully and loudly entered the world at 8:58 in the morning and Riley was tugged out a whole lengthy minute later. One minute seperates the two but they have clearly assumed their roles as big and little sister correctly.



Keagan is very protective of Riley but also can be bothered by her at times. She protects her toys from Riley and doesn't particularly love Riley always touching her, but she is concerned when Riley cries and misses her the most when she's at school. On Monday when Keagan and I got home from picking her up at school, she walked in the door asking for Riley. Riley was asleep but Keagan didn't have to wait long for her to wake up and start crying. Keagan took off up the stairs faster then ever before and climbed right into Rileys crib. I entered the room to the most heart warming sight of both girls laying on their tummies, Keagans arm wrapped tightly around her sisters shoulder, and Keagan whispering "it's ok Ryee" to her. I almost cried.



Riley usually relishes in attention from her sister and beams in the morning when Keagan finally wakes up and when she gets home from school. Keagan grabbing her hands is sure to make Riley belly laugh! But Riley can also pester her big sister knowingly and purposely ignore her at times. She has started this great game of trying to wake Keagan up by busting into her room and disrupting her sleep. Riley knows full well the tearful and dramatic reaction she is going to get from her sister and still loves it.



Having a twin sister is such a special gift that I am SO thankful my girls have. There is an endless amount of lessons these two can learn from eachother. And I know they will definitely each need eachother in the future! The Lord knew just what he was doing when he sent them together!
