Thick as Thieves

Having a sister myself, I know firsthand how wonderful it can be and also how there are times that it has been aggravating (sorry Amy- I am totally talking about our younger years !) I have seen the pictures of our dress ups, matching clothes and candid beach shots.  I remember our fights over hair brushes, clothes and seats in the car.  I am thankful for our silly moments that turned into forever memories, random and pointless phone calls and the support through the tears that I have been given.  But these are my memories .  However, they are memories I desperately want Wylie and Bess to also have one day.  I have always known Wylie had a special heart for Bess. From day 1 she was Bess’ right hand mama!  

I am guessing that I what I see these days with Wylie and Bess is something similar to what my own mom witnessed with Amy and I when we were little.  These days, Wylie and Bess are thick as thieves.  Bess is Wylie’s little copycat! 

Take yesterday.  (By the way- it was Day 3 of yucky weather, no backyard due to new fencing – and yes, we never made it out of our pajamas- excuse our appearances!)  Yesterday, I was able to listen in as Wylie and Bess went to “Target” with their baby dolls.  They were all decked in heels with their babies and bottles!  They did loops around the dining room table shopping in “Target”! 

After their shopping was complete, they needed to feed their babies.  So they went to “McDonalds” to feed them.  (aka- the couch!) Of course, this also required diaper changes and a little lesson from Wylie to Bess on how to lay the diaper out for the babies! 

Bess was thrilled to be learning from such a mastermind and know it all!

Next they grabbed their cameras and decided it was photo session time!  So around the house they carried their dolls, posing them in one place after another where they placed them perfectly and reminded them to say “Cheese”!  This also turned into a photo session of Bess that Wylie was in charge of conducting!  Quite humorous!  

Finally, when the babies went down for their “Quiet Time”, it was time for these 2 mamas to have some fun of their own.  So they quickly grabbed their loot and headed to a special spot to do their artwork!  Here the conversations ranged from ABC’s to Pappies!   As you can probably imagine, Wylie did most of the talking and Bess just made her usual here and there sounds (which are suppose to be words) of agreement (or disagreement) through her pappy!   Regardless, this  was entertainment for a good while!  Plus, they were in the kitchen so I could overhear all the wonderful conversations that made me giggle!

I love that these 2 birds play so well together and already are making the strong bond between each other as special sisters!  They don’t realize it now, but, I know one day they will treasure it!
