Before Austin was born, my Aunt Sandy gave Abby a pretty silver and purple bracelet that says "Big Sister." It's a little big for her, so we only let her wear it around the house but she loves to pull it out and try it on from time to time.
This morning, while I was doing the breakfast dishes, Abby was entertaining Austin in his walker. All of the sudden, she came running in the kitchen and got her bracelet. She went over to Austin and said:
"Austin, this is my big sister bracelet. It is very special to me, because you are my best friend."
Austin responded by giving her a big smile, a happy yell and some jumping.
It was a good thing I was doing dishes, because the running water masked my tears.
