I was unsure, and excited at the same time. I would finally have someone to play with, without bribing them with candy. But I did not want a little brother! These were my exact words “If I have a baby brother I will throw him out the window.” I know they were harsh words to say, but I really wanted a baby sister!
The nine months passed, and it was August due date time.
Mommy bent down to my level and said “its time sweetie!” “Now you be a good girl for Nan and when you wake up in the morning, you’ll get to meet your new baby sister or brother.”
Morning came and I was told I had a baby sister, we arrived at the hospital soon after that.
I came over to where mommy was, and peeked down to see my new sister.
“Is it really a girl mommy?” “Your sure it’s a girl?”
Mommy assured me it was a girl, but I wasn’t quite sure so I looked down into her diaper.
“Yes mommy it’s a girl!!!!”
I gently kissed her forehead, and assured her I’d be the best big sister, any sister ever had!
A few days later mommy, and the new baby finally came home.
Things were different, than before I didn’t get as much attention, because I wasn’t the only child anymore.
Mommy was busy with the baby, making sure she was fed, bathed, changed, tending to her every need.
I got jealous quite a bit, I wanted to be the center of attention too!
I’d help with mommy, so I’d be able to spend more time with her.
She got big fast, and I was able to push her in the swing.
Mommy would say “Your pushing her too hard honey, push softer.”
So I’d learn in time, that she was younger, and couldn’t do all the things I could.
I loved to kiss her little hand, and squeeze it, she didn’t like it so much though, she’d have a fit and cry.
I loved watching her sleep peacefully, although I’d wake her up a lot so we could play, she wasn’t too happy about that either, neither was mommy.
When she got old enough, mommy, and daddy gave us both equal the attention now.
She was old enough she didn’t not as much help.
We did everything together, we’d get out all our toys, and play all day, we’d fight too.
But we always still wanted to play with each other.
I had someone to share a room with, then the boogie man wouldn’t come out of the closet to get me!
We’d play dollhouse, and daddy would video us. We loved being on camera it made us feel special.
Daddy would get tired of doing it, so he turned it off, and we’d beg him no turn it back on!!!
Years went on, and we were too old to play little toys.
We played Barbies we were big girls now!
We’d fight over the prettier Barbie dolls, the cooler cars, furniture, and accessories.
But we’d be right back downstairs playing Barbies again the next day, fighting again.
Life moved on, slowly to us, but faster then we thought.
We became teenagers, and turned into young women.
You appreciate so much more, the older you get, and it seems as though the years move even faster.
We grew closer the older we got, that’s when you begin to understand each other the most,
because your going through more of the same things..
Even though my sister will always be my little sister, I look up to her too!
I see things that she does that I didn’t do, and I’m so proud of the young women she’s become.
Even though she’s older now, and she likes guys, and do things girl’s her age do,
I still find myself guarding her from getting hurt, or falling.
It makes me cry in some many ways, because my little sister is growing up,
and is no longer my little play mate. She’s my best friend.
I still thank God to this day that he gave me a sister, and not a brother!
He knew from the moment she was born, I would love her,
and her big sister would take care of her the rest of her life!
