Brings tears to my eyes


G has to be one of the sweetest big sisters. She doesn't seem to exhibit much, if any, jealousy towards M. Yesterday, G asked for a sticker to play with. I gave her a hippo. She immediately went and sat down next to M, tore off part of her sticker and put it on M's leg so she would have one too. She did the same thing this morning with her cat sticker. After putting the sticker on M she went over to hold M's hands (notice the sticker on M's leg in the picture). Also, when we were driving to Hawaiian Falls G starting crying because she missed Madeline and wanted her to go with us. I really didn't know how G was going to do with a new baby coming into her world, especially since she was not even two when M was born. She has by far surpassed my expectations for her role as the big sister. It is amazing everyday to see how loving, caring, and nurturing she is to her baby sister.

She is such a great big sister. Allie will need to take lessons from her when that time comes. Love the first haircut and I'm glad she did so well. Sorry we missed y'all at HF but hopefully we can get together soon. We were driving by a park today and Allie said she wanted to play with Gabby. Then she said that Gabby is sweet!
