People often ask me about the relationship between Nina and Lyla - are they great playmates, do they get along really well, are they good friends? Thankfully, right now we're at the stage when the answers to those questions are, Yes - most of the time. Since Nina and Lyla are the same age difference apart that Shenley and I were, I know there will be days when they'll be best friends; I know there will be days when they'll be locking each other out of their room; I know there will be days when they'll be arguing over who gets to drive the car or who borrowed the other's clothes without asking, but I hope, through it all, they'll always be friends like they are now. I know there were days when I irritated Shen to no end, and I know there were days when I felt like Charles Schulz when he said, "Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life," but we ended up great friends, and that's what I hope most for Nina and Lyla.
Hopefully you won't call your daughters when they fight with each other "vicious fishes" like I did with you and Shen. Actually you both were more like minnows... love, mouse
