It is amazing. I think that the girls have so much opportunity to learn from each other, share with each other, and as cheesy as it sounds, have more people to love and more people that love them.
The girls will each have the opportunity to mix alliances here in the first 4-8 years of their lives. You see, B and A did day care together once. Then B went to school, and A and R hung out. After school B and J hang out. Next year? B and A off to school together and then R and J with Julia, our Nanny.
I feel like breaking the groups allows everyone to get to know their sister with just a little less noise around. They are reminded that each sister is a real person with personality and style. They get to test who they are by playing, exploring, and even by fighting.
Hopefully, in the long run, the girls will see their sisters like this:

And less like:
But, as you might imagine, it will be a little of both. The girls love and hate each other. Sometimes it happens all in the same span of 5 minutes.
One thing is for sure. I love it. It is crazy. But it is the six of us. There is always someone there when you need something. When you are lonely, you have a sister. When you want to wrestle, sister. Want a scapegoat? Sister.

I've never quite understood why people get so wigged out by families with more than two children. You have 4, not 35.
It's a gorgeous group of estrogen.
