The Big Sister

Katarina has a lovey. It's name is Becky Bunny and we got it as a gift from Aunt Dee & Uncle Kevin when she was born. This thing is her favorite and sleeps with it every night. Today, we went shopping and we saw a giraffe version of Becky and Katarina wanted to get it so she could give it to her new baby brother or sister when it's born. She even told me when she met him/her she would say, "here baby, this is for you." I thought it was so cute that she wanted to 'buy' an item just for the baby. She did walk around the store cuddling it, but did hand it over to pay (and even used a gift card I had to pay for it). I'm happy that she is so excited for the new family member and already learning about sharing. I know that the new addition is going to be a big adjustment for her, but so far she seems to be doing ok. We are in the process of getting together Katarina's big girl room and she has already said it's more than ok for the baby to sleep in her crib. I just keep hoping that this good attitude lasts when the baby arrives in 3 months!
