I loved the way she fell instantly in love. How she helped with everything and was so happy to be a big sister who had to look out for her little sister.
I loved watching her get nappies and help get clothes. From the day DD2 was born DD1 just boasted about her to everyone including our animals.

Honestly I can tell you that DD1 did none of what people are telling you. She loved having someone else around. In the car, DD1 would sit and tell us what DD2 was doing, ie: shes moved her head, shes sleeping, shes cold, shes hot, she needs a toy. It was so cute. And actually she still does it today!!

The one thing that has stayed with me is that DH and I swear that they have special smiles and language with each other. When DD1 walks into the room, DD2 has this amazing smile that is only for DD1. They have always 'talked' to each other even if we have no idea what they are on about.

Also DD1, taught DD2 so much already. In DD1'a world she taught her to smile, to laugh, to roll over, to sit up, crawl etc. Thats what we told her and she was so happy to play such an important role in her sister's world.

She even tells DD2 everything that is going on.

As you can see I just love the relationship between my two. I love how special they are to each other. I love that the other DD1 cried when DD2 went to the dentist. There are so many more positives compared to negatives. Some people are just kill joys! I would ignore them!
