Ten Things My Daughters Have Taught Me

My daughters are both lovely, inside and out.  They are also very different.  I never had a sister so I didn't know what it would be like to raise two girls, not really.  I'm learning so much from watching them grow, so I'm writing it down so I don't forget.

1.  You can love someone without liking their behavior.

2.  You can love someone without liking the things they like, this includes their clothes, hobbies, toys, and favorite foods.

3.  Love means compromise.  This includes movies, clothes, hairstyles, paint color, music, and books.

4.  When you love someone you will know what to say to hurt them most.  Loving them means you won't say it.

5.  When good things come your way you will want to share them with those you love.

6.  When bad things come your way a sister can always help.

7.  It's easy to unite against a common enemy (this may not always be your brother).

8.  When your dress, headband, jacket, or other item looks better on someone else than it does on you let them keep it.  Their joy in having your thing will make you happier than having the thing.

9.  It's always a good time to pretend.

10.  Sometimes friends need to stay up late talking.
