After I had Byron, who was obviously a boy, I never imagined I would find myself the mother of a girl, let alone two girls. I just figured I’d have all boys. Funny now when I look back because I think if I ever had a forth baby, it would in all likelihood be another girl!
My girls are so different in every way from mannerisms to looks. Although people tell me they look a like, I don’t see it. I see so much of Willow in Byron, but nothing comes through of Lily. The same with personality, one is a princess and the other a mother. Lily is not, nor was she ever a mother type toddler but Willow, well, she is as mothering as it gets. Lily and Willow are nearly 3 years apart and at different stages of childhood. Lily doesn’t have the patience for Willow that Byron has. Because, of that and since they don’t share the same interests, they don’t play together on too many occasions. Sure Lily reads Willow stories and stops to give her a cuddle, but when I really think about it, they don’t play. I wonder if when they’re older it will be the same. Are their personalities and interests just too different to warrant a beautiful friendship? I hope not. But I have wondered.
So they don’t play together often but I know they love each other. I know by the sheer fact they’re sisters and that has got to count for something.
