One of the things that Eloise and I will always share is that we are the little sisters. Being the baby in a family is an important and special role and I will always understand how she feels being the little sister. If you met me and didn't know I have an older brother, you might assume from my personality that I'm an oldest child (I chalk it up to two parents who were first borns and a family culture that was pretty type-A and driven as a result), but I'm a little sister and that's just one special thing that Eloise and I will always share. So when Clara (unintentionally) makes you feel like you're not big enough or smart enough or cool enough, Eloise, know that you are and I get it, baby. When she lords it over you that she has a cell phone or a driver's license or whatever the thing is in another decade that kids just have to have and you're not old enough yet, I get it, baby. If they accuse you of craving the spotlight or needing attention or trying to always please, just know sweet Eloise, I get it, baby. You and me, we're the little sisters.
