A few times, GG has gone out for a day with a friend or an afternoon movie with Daddy. The whole time she's gone, every 5 or 10 minutes, AG is asking, "Where's Sissy?" . . .with a concerned look on her face. And she very excited to see her when she returns home. AG is pretty lost without her "Sissy."
They have their times of rivalry like any other sibling pair. Any fight is usually over a toy (it's amazing to me that a 6 year old and 1 year old can want to play with the same things so OFTEN!), but they resolve it quickly. As AG develops her independence, GG is dismayed to learn that she won't always do what she tells her anymore, but it's a learning experience for both of them. I look forward to watching them grow up loving each other. I'm sure their relationship will have its rough patches like any other, but I'm hoping they grow up to be wonderful friends.
My girls are 5 years apart and seem, for the most part, to get along splendidly and love one another very much. What are the age gaps of your kids and how do they interact?

That is so sweet, and I love their chins!
Punky is 8 (almost 9, if you ask here - her Bday is in Oct), Flintstone is 10 months. The LOVE each other. She loves to entertain him, and he lights up watching her. They haven't fought over anything yet, I'm sure by virtue of Flintstone's age.
My ONLY complaint about their relationship has nothing to do with either of them, it's with me. Punky likes to "play mommy" to Flintstone, and it drives me nuts. She will say things like, "Mommy, I don't think you should let him have that, he might choke." I love that she's looking out for her little brother, but seriously it makes me batty ;-)
