We fight more often than we are friends, and as a child being the eldest was great, I could just smack him one, I used to be forever getting him into trouble for things I had done. Sorry Sam!
Unfortunately as we got older he grew, massive, he's so tall and spends all his spare time in the gym. I don't fancy fighting Mr Muscle because unlike when we were 5 and 7 I know for a fact I will not win. (damn)
Growing up we had a love/hate sibling relationship, you know the one.. either 'I want to kill you' or 'you're my very best friend in the world' and that drove (and still does drive) our parents mad, but which siblings don't drive their parents crazy? We surely can't be the only ones? If we are sorry Mum and Dad.
We are fantastic at winding each other up, seeing who will bite first. for example....I'll never let him live down the time I squashed him into my dolls buggy and pushed him round the house, or the time he insisted in dressing up in my dress and refusing to get changed (sorry Sam had to be done)
When it comes down to it Sam is the person in the world I can trust with any secret and he tells me absolutely everything, even when I cannot be in the same room with him because he's made me so angry, I would never tell.
As children we even had our own secret language, does anyone else have their own language with their siblings? No? Just us... okay!!
We hang out fairly often, usually having at least one argument, as siblings usually do. We can often go weeks without talking because we have fallen out over something completely ridiculous and I can't even count the amount of time we have 'unfriended' each other on Facebook, but we always re-add each other again.
Sam, is a fantastic Uncle to Lily in his own way, he, as most adolescent boys is not fantastic at the whole practical 'looking after' a child or baby, he almost fainted when he had to change her nappy. Once! However he did love Lily cuddles when she was tiny, and is one very proud Uncle whenever she does anything slightly exciting he is always first to cheer her on!

| Looking lovingly at each other |
When the two of them are left alone together it is the equivalent of leaving two four year olds' together, unsupervised. Expect mess... and often tears, mostly from Sam! (kidding) but Lily ADORES him, she thinks he is the most funny person in the whole wide world, and how great is winding him up?!
Sam and Lily share a love of all sports which means they are often running around together.
As a newly (almost) trained swimming teacher Lily loves nothing more than showing off her swimming schools for Uncle Sam's approval.
Do you get on with your sibling? I'd love to hear.
Thanks for reading
