It really is remarkable how gentle and caring Chebbles is with babies, particularly her own. She's not into dolls, and repeatedly asks to be a baby herself, but when she is with a baby sister, she transforms into the most nurturing three-year-old I've ever met.
She gently stroked Baby C's feet and cheeks, and cradled her attentively. Of course we adults hovered over the scene, particularly careful of Baby C's big ole post-birth soft spot on her head -- irresistable to the hands of preschoolers.
Hub-D reports that Chebbles was kind of sad when she returned home, without her new baby sister.
Chebbles, the feeling is mutual. Baby C wants to know when she gets to be with you too.

And, of course, Chebbles wore her fanciest hair bow & her best pearls for the occasion. These pictures are so sweet.

So sweet! Give all your girls a kiss from me (and Molly - she's VERY excited).
So funny! I had decided on the exact same title for a post of the photos from yesterday and was just coming online to put it up. I am glad you best me to it though...it is certainly much better coming from the mama herself.
BTW, love the picture of Hub-D. Maybe he should consider a career switch..."I'm not a doctor, but I play one..."
The pearls! I *love* the pearls! Just the sweetest thing ever...she's going to be the best big big sister. And who knows, maybe someday little Leafy will even be able to borrow her pearls. :)
Love,

Congratulations! The cheeks are sooo precious, and the sisterly love is just wonderful. Hope that everyone has a smooth transition! All the best.
