Last week as I was getting ready for work, I overheard the following exchange from Kit to Maggie:
Kit (in a cute sing-songy voice): Good Morning Maggie!! It's your big sister, you big sister!!
Maggie happily gurgles back (probably with a smile, since she loves her big sis).
Kit (again with the girly sing-song): Ohhh Maggie, you're such a big girl, yes you're a big girl!!
More happy cooing and gurgling from Maggie.
Kit (with happy surprise): Oh look at you, Maggie...you're stretching like a rainbow!!!
I've got to tell you, the memory of that exchange between sisters continues to put a smile on my face. 
I do love to watch their sisterly bond develop. And hope that all the sweet moments between them now will stay fresh with me when they're teenagers.

I figure that there will be some point that I'll need to remind them that they liked each other...and that Maggie's big sister once compared her to a beautiful rainbow!

Ah....sisters. I love those little private exchanges too. (Now, mine just sass each other, but sometimes a sweet nothing whispers by.) I suppose we really try to nurture what we didn't have. I soooooo want them to love each other all the time.
Absolutely precious...Savor away!
The English teacher in me is super proud of my niece...what a great simile she came up with!
