Siblings

Today is our last day as a family of four. The last day before these two best friends get a new best friend.

Since she was born, Cullen has been so in love with Colette. When she was a baby, he kissed on her, wanted to hold her, and talked about how much he loved her all of the time. As she has gotten older, they have become best friends. Sure, they have their fights and pick on each other like every other brother and sister out there, but they really love playing together. Most days they disappear to one of their rooms or the playroom and play for hours.

They always have each others back. Cullen helps her when she can’t reach something. If Colette gets a snack for herself, she always brings something for Cullen too. They take turns picking TV shows (usually). Colette says Cullen is her “bestest friend ever”!

Cullen has been a great big brother, so I have no doubt that he will love Corinne just as much. And I’m pretty sure he will be a huge help during the first few weeks as I recover. He really enjoys serving those he loves; I am expecting him to want to help with diaper changes and baths and anything he can that will help me and his newest sister.

Colette loves babies, so I’m sure Corinne will get all the attention and kisses she could ever want. Since we decided on a name, Colette has been talking about Baby Corinne and loving on my belly.

I am so excited to see their reactions when they see their new baby sister for the first time. I know they will love her to pieces, but I really hope that as they all get older, they make her an equal part of their friendship. But I also hope that they keep loving on each other just the same.
