Big Sister Things

Caroline is still very much loving her little sister. She says and does the funniest things when it comes to Eleanor.

-When Mommy or Daddy starts talking to Eleanor, Caroline immediately interrupts us and says, "Talk to her!".

-Her preschool teacher told me that they hear all about Eleanor at school b/c Caroline is constantly talking to the classroom's babydolls as if she were me and the doll is Eleanor. "Good, job on your bottle Eleanor. Now I have to burp you. Do you have a poopy diaper?"

-Caroline is now referring to Eleanor as "Baby Eleanor Grace" at all times.

-When Caroline goes to bed at night, she gives Eleanor 2 kisses on top of her head. THen she comes over to Brett and I and grabs our face in both hands, pull it down and kisses the tips of our heads two times, too!

-We must hear at least 20 times a day "I don't want my baby to cry!", even if Eleanor is not crying!

-She loves to talk and sing to Eleanor, but gets so close to her that we are STILL reminding her multiple times a day to "GIVE HER SPACE!"

It is so much fun, though, to watch Caroline with Eleanor and see how excited she is to have a little sister.
