CHARLOTTE CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER BROTHER, AND JOEY'S FONDNESS OF HIS SISTER CONTINUES TO GROW EACH WEEK. I LOVE TO WATCH JOEY'S FACE AS HE LOOKS UP AT CHARLOTTE. SHE IS ALWAYS EAGER TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY AS I CARE FOR HIM. SOME OF HER FAVORITE BIG SISTER RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE - HELPING BURP HIM AFTER FEEDINGS, LOCATING HIS PACIFIER, COLLECTING HIS TOYS AND PLACING THEM AROUND HIS BODY, AND "SHHHING" HIM DURING FUSSY MOMENTS. MY FAVORITE IS HOW SHE SAYS (QUITE LOUDLY) "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT...OK, OK!" WHEN HE IS EXTRA FUSSY. (I HAVE TO ADMIT, I FEEL THE SAME WAY.)
CHARLOTTE HAS ALSO TAKEN TO MOTHERING HER BABY DOLLS. SHE MIMICS MY ACTIONS WITH HER DOLLS, AND IT IS A PRECIOUS SIGHT TO SEE. THIS PAST WEEK, JOEY WAS HAVING AN ESPECIALLY FUSSY TIME AND I WAS WALKING HIM AROUND THE HOUSE SHHHING HIM GENTLY. I WAS SO FOCUSED ON HIM THAT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT CHARLOTTE HAD PICKED UP HER OWN BABY DOLL AND WAS ROCKING AND SHHHING THE DOLL IN THE SAME MANNER. SHE IS A REAL MOMMY IN THE MAKING!
WATCHING "DORA THE EXPLORER" TOGETHER. IN CHARLOTTE'S MIND, THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO START THE DAY.
