Svea is doing so well with the transition to being a big sister. She has her moments where she gets upset because Mommy or Daddy can't "come and get her", but for the most part she is not showing much jealously. I know this may change for her when there is only one parent at home and two children, but we figure she has quite a long time before that happens. We have been so blessed again this time with Dan receiving family leave time of three weeks. He still has half a week left and it's so nice to have him home so we can get used to and bond with our new baby together as a family. It also allows me to get some decent sleep for three weeks and slowly get used to having two young children at once. My Mom is also coming the week Dan goes back to work....I am so thankful for all of the help!
Here are a few funny things Svea has been doing these past two weeks. She loves playing a game with Dan where she runs down the hallway and he throws a big pink ball behind her. She thinks this is so funny and repeats it many times.
When she wants to say thank you for something she says, "Thank you please!
She is such a good helper and a good little girl. When it's time to pick up her toys at the end of the night I will hand her a few toys and ask her to bring them to her brothers room and she does....she even puts them in the correct baskets. When she wants a snack I ask her to put her bunny and paci on the chair in the living room and she does it. She is such a good listener and always willing to help out. We are so proud of her.
She continues to sleep well! Her brother has woken her up a few times in the middle of then night, but she doesn't get upset. She just says, "baby crying" and sits in her crib talking to herself. She has yet to get upset. We think this will be a somewhat smooth transition for her! Her memories will always be with her and her brother, but we'll never forget our special time with just her.We love you Svea Grace!
