…my true love gave to me, a waving at you baby.
But not too much or anything, we wouldn’t want you guys to get to excited.
Lani, Eli and Lilly have been…um…how shall I put this. Pestering the life out of her teaching her to wave her hand since the moment we brought her back from the hospital and had that conversation. The one that when a little like this:
Me "So do you guys like your new baby sister?"
General collective response "Yeah, what does she do?"
Me " Well nothing yet give her a chance, she’s just getting over the worst day of her life"
(I’m pretty sure this was Lilly) "But when will she say hello?"
Me " Oh not for a long time, first she’ll learn to roll over, babble a bit, learn to sit up, learn to crawl, learn to wave her hand and then she’ll talk to you"
So there you have It guys. All my fault, and my only advice to you is this, never give your older children a list of things to accomplish with their new baby, you just don’t need that kind of stress.
Now she does it, very quickly and when hardly anyone is looking, She’ll waggle those little hands in the air for a second then laugh in all our faces as the whole family lines up in front of her madly flapping their hands and chanting, "Come on you can do it!, YOU CAN DO IT!" It’s going to be crazy around here when she does speak or worse enter her first sporting competition.
So tomorrow my baby will graduate officially from the class of Baby and head off on a year of Oh She’s Not A Baby Anymore, and to celebrate we let Alanah plan a party for her. So tomorrow we will have a few little friends around to the LAND OF MAGICAL CREATURES to party with Sabrina the Unicorn Princess and attempt to unwrap a pass the parcel, should be fun with one year olds. Wish me luck.
Good luck! I’m sure it will be wonderful.
