Don't worry, Big Sister's Here!






Riley has really surprised us at how great she is being at her role as Big Sister. When Rowan cries, she comes running saying, "Don't worry, Big Sister is here!" and she gives him kisses and does dances and sings songs to calm him down. She even keeps pacifiers stuffed in her pockets to have on hand if Baby Brother needs one (and by stuffed, I mean her pockets are not very big so they are literally STUFFED into her pockets). She calls him Doodle or Rowan Doodle and every morning she goes right to the bassinet to check on him. She even helps with bath time!

Don't get me wrong, there are some increased attention seeking behavior, but if you know our toddler, we expected much more. Overall, she dotes on Rowan and has been very helpful for me around here too. We are so proud of our big girl!
