I think it's safe to say that Olivia is fulfilling her role as a big sister quite well these days. Some days I feel sorry for Ford and some days I think he probably is one of the luckiest little fellas on the face of the planet. I am sure the following photos will explain why I feel this way.
After nap time a lot of days she makes me put him on her bed so they can "play". Not so bad, right? Well, one of them looks happy for sure, the other is debatable.
The other day Olivia learned how to put her shoes on all by herself. They may not be matching AND on the wrong feet but she did do it all by herself.
This new task was learned at poor Ford's expense. I foresee many more days that he will play "dress up". Poor little guy is being tortured without even really knowing it. He might learn to walk much earlier than Olivia did just so he will be able to minimize these experiences.
She loves to kiss Ford, give him his ninny when he's crying, wipe him with the burp cloth (even if it's not necessary), pat his head, burp him, yell for me when he's frrrrying and talk to him nonstop. One thing she cannot do is feed him. So instead she grabs her baby and feeds her when she's hungry. Don't you like the head pillow for her pretend boppy pillow?
Ford also likes to have afternoon tea (or so he's being told). He even gets a little sugar in his tea...such a sweet big sister.
This is what the 3 of us do in the afternoons after nap time, snuggle. She may torture him to no end but she also loves him with a big heart. I am sure she'll always take good care of her little brother.
