The theme for this month’s Carnival of Natural Parenting was Sibling Revelry, as opposed to sibling rivalry. It’s a subject I’ve thought about since before deciding to add to our family after Ameli, and in the hope to avoid or lessen rivalry, I chose to continue nursing through pregnancy, and tandem breastfeed.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get my submission for the carnival in on time, but I wanted to share the beautiful sister moments between my daughters anyway. Kind of a celebration of the moments that make it all worth it.
Before you were born
I waited for you
Mine. My Sister, always true
Making plans…
Holding hands
Carried away in make-believe
Come with me, I’ll lead you through
My darling daughters,
My prayer for you is that more than sisters,
you’ll always be friends,
born of one body
welded in love
a sister, a blessing
sent from above.
Mama.
