Big Sister

Congrats Maev! You're a Big Sister! After much anticipation, baby brother finally arrived last week. You have been so sweet so far. You love giving him a kiss each morning when you wake up, when you come home from school, and before you go to bed. You also like rubbing his head/hair- which is very soft. You're not a huge fan of him when he's crying, often asking, "Why is he still crying?"

You know his name is Carter, but you usually call him Baby Brother, your baby (as in Mommy's baby), or my baby (as in your baby). Your nickname for him before he was born was "Mousie" which we think you took from the mouse in the tea cup in Alice in Wonderland. Lately, you've been giving everyone animal names. You are usually "Baby Turtle"- hence the turtle on your Big Sister shirt. Mommy is "Mama Elephant". Daddy is "Daddy Caterpillar". And now Carter has been "Carter-Mousie".

You've also been a great big Sister helper- helping give him a wash cloth bath or picking out a new onesie for him. You're a wonderful stylist. Carter always looks his best when you pick out his outfit. Thank you so much for all your help!

Love,

Mom
