A couple of my good friends from church threw me a baby shower last week. I thought I didn't need a shower at first, but it was really fun and I'm so glad I got to have one! Baby Audrey and I received some darling gifts, as well as some much appreciated diapers and coupons for meals and playdates!
Only five people in attendance were pregnant. Here we are in order of due date:
Yesterday I finally got around to washing baby clothes and sheets. When I showed Claire some newborn outfits that she had worn, she got excited and wanted to wear them again. I tried to explain that she was too big, but she insisted, "No, I'm little." It wasn't easy getting the top three snaps done.
When Claire saw a 2-pack of newborn pacifiers, she said, "One for baby Audrey, and one for me!" Um, no, Claire, you are not allowed to have a pacifier anymore. That's why you like to put fingers and other small objects in your mouth when I'm not looking. Just today, David was telling Ethan that they needed a coin to open the battery compartment of a toy. Claire immediately said, "I've got a coin! Here, in my mouth."
Ethan had no difficulties transitioning to life as an older sibling. We'll see how Claire does.
