Big Sister is Ready

Jenae loves the idea of being the big sister. She has been playing with "Baby Sister" doll for weeks now. She loves to take care of her, put her down for naps, read books to her, and feed her. There have been many sweet, sweet moments watching Jenae love her baby sister. I can't wait for her to meet the real thing. However, this has also been a good learning experience for Momma, too. Like watching Jenae put the doll in the car seat and then sitting in the dolls lap. Or the time I walked in to find the doll lathered up in Germ-X only to receive the explanation that "I give sister a bath." Oh, Okay! I guess all together it is a good semi-dose of reality for both of us. There will be sweet moments, but don't take your eye off the big sister. :o) Fun times are ahead!
Enjoying the flowers that we've been watching and waiting to bloom.

Chutes and Ladders is basically a counting game, right?! Jenae can count to about 12 or 13 on her own, so we thought it was a great time to introduce her to the world of board games. Well, there are some other spacial and sequntial skills that are needed for this game, that we don't yet have mastery over. So, for Jenae, is more like "paperdoll playground." The little people love to go up the ladders and down the slides. And, Jenae loves to have her friends, ie Pooh and friends, play with her. Pooh got in trouble the other day for not doing the spinner the right way. I love to hear her conversations with her "friends."

They always seem to work out their differences and are still best friends at the end of the day!
