The title of this post is for Catie. Even though it’s about the twins, Catie loves to announce which friend is her Best Friend Forever. A different one everyday. I’ve tried yo explain to her that life has different seasons and the person who’s her best friend for one may not work for another.
Just kidding.
She doesn’t know the last name of most of the girls she names her BFF, no chance they’ll even make it through the day, let alone forever.
ANYWAY…
It’s my favorite topic again today. The closeness, compatibility, love, and friendship of Sam and Ellie. They can sit on the couch, all their limbs intertwined, and not even notice whose leg is whose. They call each other, “hon” always. They talk each other to sleep. They can share a straw. Or a cup.
But the end of their sweet connectedness may be coming soon.
We had a playdate with 3 y.o. boy/girl twins last week who didn’t share a room. It was a new concept. I could see Ellie pondering this idea. And then she asked, “if I shared with Catie, could I have a PINK room?”
Would she trade her brother for pink tulle?
Probably.
Sam went to the Nebraska/A&M game with Daddy and a friend. No Ellie with him…and he still LIKED it. Next week we’re camping with those same friends…a family with 3 kids just the right ages. It just might break up Sam and Ellie’s BFF connection.
Then again…it’ll be a new situation, and they always stick together in those.
If Ellie leaves Sam for girly things. Or Sam leaves Ellie for football, I’ll just explain that life has different seasons and different BFFs for each.
