My Girls...
I'll say it once and I'll say it a million times...I love that I'm raising sisters. They are sooooo fascinating to me! My girls make me laugh so much and I could watch them interact for hours...as long as they're not bickering. Sometimes it's like they have one mind and I often think they should've been twins. The other morning (no kidding) I watched them wake up out of their sleep at the same time, walk over to each other, shake hands, and say, "nice to meet you." The whole time I'm standing there like...did I miss something?!? They always seem to be on the same wave length. Which is why when KK's doctor evaluated her (while she was still 3) and came to the results that her mind was on the level of a 7-year-old, I wasn't surprised. I think she's right where Zarayah is mentally (although Zarayah's only 6). Without a doubt I have my work cut out for me with these two which is why I'm so glad that Zailes is such a great big brother. I'm doing my best to plant their roots exactly where they should be. KK has been forming and saying her own prayers since before she turned two, and Zarayah is constantly mindful of the Ten Commandments so I believe they're headed in the right direction. Nevertheless, these girls will drive me to my knees more times than I'll be able to count. Actually, they already do! I'm not trying to wait until they're older and in trouble to start praying for them. I'm praying now that God will deliver them from the evils that Satan has setup for their future. I sometimes wonder what it would've been like if I had grown up with a sister and I'd like to think it would've been exactly the same relationship that my two girls have.
