editor's note //
Charlotte is loud, boisterous and out-going. She has white-blond hair, an easy smile and a fervent devotion to Taylor Swift. She's athletic, imaginative, carefree. She talks in a constant high-pitched tempest of flailing arms and furtive outbursts of song. Her boundless energy manages to get her into trouble at school on an almost daily basis.
In short, she's nothing like me, now or when I was a child. We share the same parents and half the same DNA, but Charlotte and I will never quite occupy the same world.
Still, my baby sis has changed my life forever, and, as she continues to bring an incredible amount of joy into my life, I think all the time about how I can return the favor.
Charlotte was born five years ago, while I was living away from my parents. I had grown up an only child but gained three sisters in less than year after my mom married my stepdad and shortly after gave birth to Charlotte.
When I came back from study abroad to finish high school at home, I had to adapt to a situation that was like nothing I had ever experienced —
suddenly, a baby existed in our household. As I prepared to leave home, another little life became dependent on my parents' devotion. The change was immediate and sweeping, and, for a long time, I felt little more than distant disbelief as I hurriedly — and rather ineptly — attempted to help out my mom.
But it didn't take long till the baby ceased to be the alien living upstairs and Charlotte, infectious, joyous personality and all, became my sister — my baby sis, in particular, who loves to visit "college" (anything and everything in Lawrence) and always grants me first pick of the dolls we play with together.
Siblings of all ages — or the lack of them — affect our relationships and everyday lives in myriad ways. Check out Katy's story on page 7 to learn more about sibling relationships. And consider giving your sibling a call if you can — even if it's has to be on a pink, child-sized, Nickelodeon-branded phone.
During this time, Charlotte has probably taught me more than I'll ever teach her. She coaxes a playful, child-like joy out of me each time I get the pleasure of talking to (she loves to call me on her iCarly-themed phone) or seeing her. Sixteen years older than her. I know we'll never have the conventional sister relationship, but I look forward to getting to see her grow up, and always being there for her as her bad-ass cool older sister.
