Big Sister Tips

 Mom says that I'm the world's best big sister.  She's right.  My inspiration comes from the look on Ryan's face every time he sees me.  That crazy little monster adores me.  
 To be the best mentor requires commitment and passion for the job.    
 You have to be willing to share your boots and books.
You have to be selfless, really.  Be willing to hold that hug tightly, even when they're clawing at your face to escape or trying to bite a big chunk out of your shoulder.
 Sometimes it's okay to stand your ground when they want your toy but you aren't finished with it.  That's called Tough Love.
 But making the effort to find them a substitute toy is exactly what separates the pretty good big sisters from the exceptional.
 I'm awesome.
