They both occupy the same birth position (third child and also youngest), and have a special delight in each other.
If you ask Phoebe how old she is, she will likely tell you that she's three. She's two. And if you confiscate the apple from her that she sneaked from the fruit bowl while you were on the phone and then wrote a note to the apple-eaters in the household to eat the apple that Phoebe started, all while she is screaming on your hip, she might lean down as you write and say unexpectedly, "I see Phoebe" because she recognizes her name in print. That Phoebe. She's our darling.
Happy Birthday to both girls!
ReplyDeleteFirst, Happy Birthday, Phoebe! Second, the world just got smaller! I used to play soccer with Melanie (we were fellow goalies). I had no idea you were sisters. Next time to talk to her tell her I say hello!
ReplyDeleteAmy!!! Oh my word, that is so cool! I will text her now :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday twice! How could she be two already?????
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting a grandson in July three days before my husband's birthday and we are hoping, or my husband is lobbying, for joint birthdays.
Such happy photos! What a gorgeous birthday girl!
ReplyDeleteI love that they already have a special connection. An aunt is often the best family member to confide in, get advice from, and if you are lucky, spend time with. Cheers to both the birthday girls!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures and a lovely special bond between aunt and niece! And Phoebe can recognize her name in print? Wow! I bet you have an avid reader in the works! Happy Birthday (late) to both ladies.
