Yesterday I cleaned out my closet and Mackenzie inherited 10 purses and 2 hats. Here she is "helping" me... she thought she was big stuff!
This morning she was convinced that she was tiny enough to fit inside her diaper box. Here are her attempts...
After bath time, she tried again... she got closer this time, but then she couldn't move.
To distract her from the box defeat, we started to play babies. I told her the babies would fit into the diaper box and she liked that for a while. She was being so cute with the babies that I decided today was THE DAY to give her the baby and the diaper bag from Lizzi that I've been holding onto since her birthday. I wanted to wait until right before Aubrey was born so Mackenzie would feel like she had a baby to take care of too. She LOVED it! She played so well for close to an hour... taking care of her babies, giving them juice, changing their diapers (I had to keep convincing her not to go get her diapers, but to use the ones in the diaper bag). She loved giving them "shewsh" and thought it was funny when she drank out of their bottles. Then we had lunch and she and the babies went down for their nap. I can hear her fake crying in there and giving the babies juice to make them stop... it's SO cute!
I love the above picture b/c you can see her lips saying, "shewsh"... her favorite word other than "baby."
So nuturing...
I love the "delicate" way she handles the baby =)
Lord, thank you for my little girl! Thank you that she has a nurturing heart at only 17 months old, I marvel at how you made her. I pray that Aubrey would be a new adventure for Mackenzie, that Mackenzie would learn how to help without hurting her little sister. I pray that Aubrey would love her big sister right from the start and that she would be happy whenever Mackenzie is near. And Lord, please help Aubrey to survive with such a little "big" sister "helping" me! Amen
