The Big Sister

So, Mo is excited about becoming a big sister.....sort-of. She likes the idea of having a baby sister, but I really think she has no clue what is coming her way. In the beginning, she was telling everyone, and really proud of herself for "getting" this baby. But, then we started pulling stuff out of storage and doing the nursery. Someone didn't like that very much.....I heard a lot of "Why is the baby getting all this stuff?" "How come I don't get any new stuff?"

Now, Mo is still excited for the baby, but she refers to her as "that baby." As in...."Mommy, come sit on the floor and color." "Honey, I can't." "Its because you have THAT baby in there." This is said with just a tiny bit of disdain and disgust.

For the record, the nursery is coming along pretty nicely. But, Mo is getting the big transformation. We painted her room, and she picked out some new fabric which will become curtains, and maybe even a duvet cover. We wanted Mo to feel like she is getting something new, and not being left out of all the fun.

Again I say, she has no idea what is coming her way.
