For the most part my kids are probably like most kids when it comes to interacting with their siblings. More often than not they are fighting over toys, hitting each other, pulling hair, tattling on each other ect. They do play well together for all of 10 minutes before someone ruins the fun by stealing the others toy or something else to that extreme. With all that said I can honestly say that some days I think it is just hard plain frustrating having three girls (think attitude city) so close together and I don't always handle it well. This all leads me up to the main point of this post. Even with all the fighting, yelling and crying they really do truly love one another and some of the things they do and say prove just that. I love when I hear concern for one of their sisters like, "Maile are you ok?" or "don't worry Betta (Becca)" or "I will get your doggie, Lexi". These little sentiments that I get to hear fill me with love and give me hope that one day they will love each other as much as I love my sisters. I remember when we were kids and then teenagers how much we fought but now I feel so lucky to have such great sisters. I know Maile, Alexis and Rebecca love each other dearly and so I hope I can guide them to show that more often than not.

I grew up with a sister just older than me, and one just younger. Yes, we did fight a lot growing up, but you are right. The relationships we have developed are some of the best. I do feel bad for my mom though, thinking back on those days. Hang in there!
Cute picture!!Sisters are the best!! I just wish I could give Chloe one!=) And
