Memories...Day 8 (delayed!!)

It's unforgivable how late I am with this post and the fact that I actually forgot it for a minute. I was sick, though. Alrighty, now for my sweet and brainy sister W!

Sadly, this is another sibling I wasn't around much for, but I do have some early memories...when I first met her she was already around 6 months old. Poor thing had diaper rash scars on her butt that she was forever scratching. She was another of my mom's really verbal kids. Her language skills were amazing by age 1-2. She was always really thin and always hanging on to my mother's skirts. I never really got to know her as a toddler but whenever I'd visit I'd greet her with a rough and boisterous hug just like I've always greeted all my sibs. Turns out this sister didn't like rough-housing. I just couldn't relate to her. I ended up being exasperated and gave up trying to win her over. I was pretty mean to her when she was little. I'm sorry to say, so was my kid, but she was mean to every kid she met so, whatever. I'm not proud of how I treated sister W but I did start treating her better after she was about 4-ish. I could relate to her better by then. After some time she and my kid got along much better as well.

Sister W was another breastfeeding-obsessed kid. She simply refused to be kicked off the thing. My mom had to resort to drastic measures to get her off of it. Remember how I posted me and BH used to be so close and I took care of him? Well that was sister W and N. To my knowledge N was her second mommy the way I was BH's second mommy. They seemed really attached when I was living in Macon. Most of my memories of W, though, are of she and the kid playing around and hanging out. There's a big age diff between me and W and she's still really young. Guess more memories will come along in time.

If I do say so myself, she is one smart kid, very computer savy. And one thing I love about her (besides everything else) is that she called me her favorite sis. Well, she's mine too! (don't feel bad N and SH. I love yall too. It's just W never calls me names)


Memory week will have to be continued at a later date with aunts, cousins, etc. I have other things I want to post about. Lata!
