Best of Friends


The love that my girls have for each other is just so special to watch as it unfolds. Lauren has had her Jie Jie with her since Day 1, I don't know what she would do without her. She worships the ground her sister walks on, and imitates her sister's every antic and movement. We buy a new spoon for her, and Christen wants it. Lauren hands it over to her willingly.

Christen adores her little meimei. She fusses over her, asks us to hug her when she cries, and tells us not to scold her. The other day, Christen was playing with a toy dog and pretended to bite Lauren. Lauren was scared and burst into tears. Immediately, Christen dropped the dog, and hugged her sister until she calmed down.

There was another time I couldn't pacify Lauren and I had to cook lunch for the kids. Christen took it upon herself to take care of her sister. Lauren stopped whining and played very happily with her sister. I was so thankful for Christen!

I pray they'll really grow up to be best friends.
