Top 5 Signs You May Have a Big Sister

As Madeline finds her way in the world, I feel it's only fair to provide her some guideposts along the way. These guideposts should help her make sense of her experiences, and bring clarity to the blur of infancy.

For example. You may have a big sister if...

You periodically find yourself wearing hairclips; a testament to your sister's skill since you don't have enough hair to clip.


A little voice in your ear asks you if you want to change clothes...about 10 times a day.

There is one word that you hear constantly throughout the day...so constantly that it may be your first word. It seems to come up in any and all contexts. The word is: ballerina.

The one with all the accessories also carries something called a megaphone. She can often be heard shouting "Gimme an M! Gimme an E! Gimme an R!" and "We're the number ONE!"

And the #1 sign that you may have a big sister is:
You periodically find yourself wearing a lavender polyester flower on your head.

I keep thinking about this fabulous post and relate it to our little Walker....when big sister tries to put blue lace socks on you, pin a bow to your head (yes, that's right saftety pin), or the ever popular, shove a passie in your mouth and then yank it out just when you're starting to enjoy it!! Thanks for making me think of all these signs of love - it could be worse. She truly adores him...right now....
