Miss E has been a doting big sister since the first day, when she put on her fanciest dress to come to the hospital in honor of Miss M's arrival. A conversation we had this evening shows that nothing has changed.
Miss M has begun showing signs of arthritis. Miss E told me this evening "Mama, I hope Miss M has arthritis."
"You do? Why?"
"So I can teach her special ways to do all the things that are hard to do when you have arthritis. That's what big sisters do."
My heart has officially melted.
