Olivia and Ford playing in Olivia's room one morning this week.
Olivia has really surprised me in how she has fulfilled her big sister role. Before Ford arrived I was really worried that she might be jealous or not understand why we sometimes can't give her all of our attention. It's funny how kids can surprise you. She has been the exact opposite. She is always so concerned about taking care of him and his whereabouts. This morning she woke up and pitter pattered to our room to my bedside (which she rarely does, she usually calls for one of us to come fetch her) and said "mommy, I awake and hear Ford, go get em". She is always wanting to make sure he has his ninny, lovie, toys and baby food. They also just started interacting more and playing together. One morning this week they were playing first in his room then hers for at least an hour. It absolutely melts my heart to hear them giggling at each other. I just stood outside the room and listened, I think my heart had as big of a smile that my face did. I pray they will always be the best of buds.
