GBE 2: Blog On Week #109: Siblings
Momma uses a tiny bit of Dippity Do to arrange her dark hair into a curl in the center of her head.
Everyone comes with pink flowers and presents for the baby with pouty lips.
Nana gives me a new coloring book.
While Momma irons, I give her a bottle. We sit in Daddy’s big leather recliner in front of the television, but I watch her instead of Captain Kangaroo.
She is heavier than my doll.
She grabs my little finger and holds tight.
Momma says she will be my best friend, but I have doubts.
Her hair smells like powder.
I guess she is okay.

What a sweet picture and such a nice memory. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Suzy!
Such a precious photo of you and your sister. Special memory, too.
Thank you Cate!
that’s sweet! I have a similar photo of my 2 yr old holding the bottle for his baby brother.
Thanks Sandra! I love old black and white photos. They seem more real I think.
This is awesome. I love the imagery you create. It is priceless!!

thank you Kathy!
Love this! I have 5 sisters and was unsure about each of them upon arrival!!
I never got to see a sibling from that side. It must have been confusing at best.

Good poem fodder, too. xoxo
My mom and I were talking today about older sibling’s reactions to new babies. It’s such a new world for them!
But how boring it would be without them:)
I’m a big sister as well. I can so totally relate:) Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you Debbie!
How fun! I’m a big sister too and I have a photo where I look less than pleased when holding him.
THis is Jamie from Jamie’s Thots.
Thank you!
This late, but I love the picture and your reaction to a new sister.
Thank you Dorothy!
So sweet! My sister and I fought a lot as kids, but are best of friends now. I love this post! I am sorry for all my comments today.. I’m just getting caught up! 😀
My brother always told me my parents found me under a cow pile down in the pasture. Of course, I never believed him!!!
