Here we are, Sunday night, and I'm already wishing it was the weekend again.... we're all so exhausted in my house because my little sisters wake up before sunrise each day.
It's so funny because when the twins were babies, everything about their development completely amazed me. We'd cared for infants multiple times over the years, but I had never been old enough to understand the milestones that they were reaching. My three other siblings were placed with us between the ages of two and four, so I didn't even get to experience their baby stages. But now, the twins are almost six years old, and I've seen plenty of siblings and kids in school at this age. Yet my sisters continue to amaze me each and every day.
Twin A has proven to me this weekend that she can sit and make funny noises, laugh at herself, and then make me bust out laughing uncontrollably for long periods of time. Twin B is constantly showing me her growing maturity as she questions all parts of life. They both are growing up so quickly suddenly, and they both have such unique personalities. They still love to play together and just asked my mom the other night to move their beds closer together so they could hold hands before falling asleep at night, but they're also becoming their own individuals.
Watching my siblings grow and figure out who they are as people is one of the best parts of being the oldest child in the family. It's amazing to watch all of my siblings maturing, but I think we all get a thrill out of watching our littlest sisters. It's amazing to think how different my life would have been had we not taken in my siblings through foster care.
Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!
