Erin is happily aware that she is and always will be an only child, and she's the first to tell anyone who asks about it that it's fine with her. However, ever since our good friends September and Cori had their daughter, Bronte, Erin has considered herself to be Bronte's big sister as well as her friend. As part of this self-created role, Erin has "taken care of" Bronte at every opportunity. In August 2005, we had Bronte stay overnight with us for one night. Bronte didn't seem to enjoy it much and pined for her parents (not too many kids that age would enjoy a sleepover), but Erin fell into her role of big sister and did everything possible to help Bronte have a good time. In the morning, Erin took it on herself to help Bronte with her breakfast, including feeding her yogurt. As you can see from the big smiles in the picture, it was something that both girls really enjoyed.
