Today is…

April 21st, 2008

…National Siblings Day? Take your brothers and sisters out to lunch today. Don’t have any? Take someone else’s sibling out to lunch! :~)

“Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring –quite often the hard way.” ~Pamela Dugdales

For the last 20 years my sister, Casey has always looked up to me as a role-model. She may not know this, but I have always secretly looked to her as my role-model. Casey has an amazing gift of putting herself in others shoes and seeing the world through their eyes.

She relates to people and with her sincere dominior they too relate to her. Casey has taught me to not just tell my daughter how she should handle a particular situation but to relate to her situation and tell her how I handled the same situation when I was her age and why.

This approach has helped my daughter and I tremendously and I will continue to look to my sister for parenting advise even though she is not a parent:~)

Today I think we will tell Casey just how special she is to us!

What have your siblings taught you?
