Annabelle and Maggie



They have met finally! I guess it is always a parent's cocern of how one child will react to a brand new sibling. Our case was no exception. I knew Annabelle loved other, smaller children than herself (even though she does steal the toys at times). She has always been rather proper and respectful.

Today was no exception. Annabelle was quick to label Maggie as "baby". We were quick to correct, and let her know that she was Maggie. She paused for a few seconds initially, but then was letting us know all of Maggie's features. "Maggie's Nose, Maggie's lips, Maggie's ears, Maggie's hair, Maggie's eyes" Annabelle said. With that, Annabelle was just as excited as could be with her. From that point, she was running all around the room, but was quick to find Maggie when she started crying. All in all I am very excited and happy about how Annabelle is acting around Maggie.

We later followed up the event by singing Happy Birthday to Maggie. Annabelle was given a cupcake, which is her favorite! Maggie couldn't have any at this piont, but I'm sure she will have a lot of it in 364 days! :-)
