Oh man! I have 2.5yo boy/girl twins and I have been seeing a shift in things as well. My daughter has ALWAYS been in charge, since birth! My son has always been happy to do things on her schedule and has been so easy going about everything. Recently though he has found his own voice and is fine to play alone or read quietly. I have had to sit my daughter down several times and try to explain to her (as much as you can explain to a 2.5yo) that sometimes brother wants to do different things and that its ok for her to play without him too. She is crushed by this and wants him by her side at all times. I am so curious to see how they change and grow together. I want them to always have their own identity and not just be “A Twin”, but i will miss how simple things were when all they wanted was each other.

My oldest is 5.5 and my baby is 2. When the baby was born my oldest daughter was pretty indifferent since she couldn’t play with her sister. Now as they are growing older they want to wear the same clothes and even style their hair to match. So in the end they have grown a lot closer and play together by themselves pretty well. I love that my youngest daughter just idolizes her sister and wants to do everything the same, for the most part at least.

oh, Lowie, I feel you, girlie! From one big sister to another, I remember when my little brother started getting a mind of his own and wanting to do his own things. It was hard but like your mama says, it’s really FUN too! The amount of things that you and Major are going to get to do now is mind blowing. You won’t totally understand it til you are wwwaaaayyyy older (I’m 32 and my [married! yikes!] little brother is 30) but these next few years with Major are going to make the most awesome of memories and let me tell ya, there is nothing like the bond between big sister and little brother. And don’t worry! He is still going to need and want snuggle time with his big sis because sometimes it’s the only solution to all the problems. Hold tight, Lowie! You’re going go look back and LOVE what comes next.

While I don’t have kids yet, I am the older sister to a younger brother. While I remember not being excited about sharing my parents, I did grow to love having a younger brother. Now we’re the best of friends and have our own way of communicating with each other. It’s the best relationship especially now that we’re in our late 20s/ early 30s. I also like to tell him that I’m the longest relationship he’s going to have so he better get used to me mothering him ?

How sweet are they! Now that I have a daughter, I always wonder what her relationship would/will be with any future siblings.
