We've been reading a book about bringing home a new baby which, thankfully, Addie loves and has us read over and over each night. In The New Baby, the older brother wants to show his new baby sister all of his favorite things - toys, books, jokes - but the baby doesn't seem interested. What can you do with a new baby, he asks? Well, you can cuddle her, tickle her, give her a rattle and let her pull your nose, and of course, show her off to your friends. As we've learned from Hollywood, babies can be your best accessory.
When we talk to Addie about her little sister, she often adds her own rules.
The Rules of Having a Baby in the House According to Addie:
I don't want to push the baby.
I don't want to bonk babies heads together.
You can't put a baby on a wall.
You can't go poo poo in their mouth.
Words to live by.

Addie will be the ideal Big Sister! And, Happy (real) Anniversary, Cap and Sarah!

Sounds like Addie is all set then ... I will pass her words of wisdom on to Casey! He is about to navigate a new and improved world of siblingdom ... it crawls :)
Addie, as usual, has excellent rules and definitely thinks out of the box. Her family would whole-heartedly concur and support her as she defines her role as Addie and as Big Sister.
