Two Voices . . .

 

Janae and Alaina have always spent a lot of time together, but now that Janae is doing "preschool" at home they are together almost constantly.

Sometimes this means we have lots of snatching, hitting, pinching, yelling, and screaming.

Other times, though, my two little girls get along so well that one seems like a mini version of the other. And now that Alaina is getting a little older, they have enough similar interests that they can usually find something to play.

The other day they both came out dressed as Cinderella;

 

other times they have both been little tap dancers,

 

fairies,

 

or Hawaiian girls (all on their own!).

 

Sometimes they are just princesses,

 

or babies.

 

Neither of them has any qualms about taking Ben to school wearing a nightie and pink leggings under a coat . . . as long as they're doing it together.

 

There is nothing better than when the two of them get laughing together (except for when their brother is home and joins in, too!).

 

It's just like Barbie says in one of their favorite movies, "Two voices, one song" :) Or--to include a more literary reference--like Christina Rossetti says in one of my favorite poems: "There is no friend like a sister."

Either way, I'm glad my two little girls have each other.
