I remember sneaking you out of your crib
I remember tying bows in your hair
I remember eating popsicles in the bathtub
I remember all the nicknames we had
I remember putting on shows for Grandmother in the rose garden
I remember mom putting up our ballet buns
I remember all the forts we made
I remember all the times you knocked my blocks over
I remember you driving me around in the Barbie jeep
I remember the day you grew taller than me
I remember sledding on the golf course
I remember burying each other in leaf piles during the fall
I remember going driving in dad’s car for the first time
I remember you borrowing my shirts, shorts, and shoes all the time
I remember all the songs we sang
I remember you begging me to do your hair
I remember you getting over your stage fright
I remember getting emotional because you were growing up so fast
I remember watching all of our home videos to remember what it was like to be little
I remember sharing all of this with you, little sister
