Big Sister Reader

Maevy,

You've always been a great, big sister, but this video is one of the cutest things I've seen in a while. About every other night you and Carter take a bath together. He loves splashing around with you and we love knocking out 2 baths at 1 time. Carter finishes his bottle and goes to bed right after bath time. Then we all head down stairs for dinner. Besides constantly sneaking into his bedroom to "borrow" his baby books, you also have a fondness for a few particular "baby" books; one being, "Brown, Bear, Brown Bear". I think you've had this book memorized since you were 2ish (not sure if we have a video of this saved somewhere in our digital archives). Recently, you've asked to read Carter a book along with the other books Mommy and Daddy typically read him.

Carter has his ears off after bedtime; so Mommy usually reads loudly right into his ear while he finishes his bottle. So when you read him a book, we instruct you to "read it loud.", which you do. This video isn't a great representation of Carter's attention span. I think he was distracted by the camera and all the people in his bedroom. He's usually a better listener. Either way, I think you're adorable and a great, big sister reader!

Love,

Mommy

Big Sister

Hiya Maev-

This morning Mommy and Daddy casually told you that you were going to have a little brother. Here's how the conversation went:

Mom: Maevy, we have some news.
Maev: What?
Mom: Mommy's going to have a baby.
Maev: Yea, in your tummy. 
(Clearly this has been mentioned at school because we've never talked about it.)
Mom: Yes, and it's going to be a baby brother.
Maev: No, I want a sister.
Mom: Well it's going to be a brother. Are you going to be nice to him?
Maev: No, I'll be soft with a sister, and not soft with a brother.
Dad: Do want to name him?
Maev: Yea, B-B. B-B, the brother.
Dad/Mom: Cool.

We have a few more months to sell you on this whole baby brother thing. Plus we're working on a new big girl room that I think you're going to love. I just hope you don't do what your Dad did when M came home with baby sister, Anna. He stopped talking to M for 2 or 3 whole days. Yikes! Daddy was clearly interested in being an only child.

Love you, Maev.
