Ellie and Tommy

So many people have asked us what Ellie thinks of Tommy and how she is doing with her little brother's arrival. Well, we are happy to say that Ellie has been an amazing big sister to Tommy.  She is very sweet with him. 

She always asks to "pet" him before she actually goes in to do it.  She likes touching and naming his features "Tommy's nose", "Tommy's mouth".  We did have to lay the ground rules to not touch Tommy's eyes.  She will says "No eyes, right Mama?"

She likes to see his "owie" - his belly button.  She holds him once or twice a day and enjoys picking out his pajamas when she picks out hers for the night, making it clear that she can put hers on "by my own" and Tommy needs Mom or Dad to do it.

Ellie is off to a great start as a big sister!
