Being a Big Sister

Z*oe has had quite a week too as she explores what it means to be a big sister. At 2 1/2, it is hard to understand what all this means and especially hard not to poke but to do "gentle touches" instead. Sometimes Z pokes her "B*aby A*pril" instead. Notice A*pril is actually bigger than L*ily!

Overall, Z is doing so well in her new found role. She helps retrieve diapers and wipes and wants to "see the poopy". She gets burp cloths when asked and helped with L's bath. She is a little too helpful with L's N*uk - fortunately we don't use it much!

One evening, Z decided to read Ba*by L*ily some stories.

Here are some of the lovely things we have heard from Z this week:

"Ba*by L*ily is here." - Z says this to everyone who comes in the door
"You and B*aby L*ily are NOT going back to the hopsital." (that's not a typo)
"Look at her tiny little_____" -ears, eyes, nose, hands, etc.
"Dr. Ki (McK*ay) says don't touch her eyes!" -L's dr told Z this on Monday and she has said it every day since.
"I like her." - This was the last thing Z said before going to sleep the first night we were home.
