I was watching Sophie sitting on the floor playing with my old dolly from when I was her age. She was sitting there, kissing her, hugging her, rocking her and saying "love you baby, kiss kiss, love you". I've never actually seen her be so gentle with a toy and it brought tears to my eyes.
I know that a new baby in the house, and one that needs the extra attention that coco will need, is going to be a big adjustment for her. She's had mummy and daddy to herself for two and a half years, more so than most kids even because she's been so sick and needed so much extra attention. So it will be a tough few weeks for her as she learns to share.
On thursday I took her into town for some mummy and sophie time. We walked around the shops and went to the library and had afternoon tea. It was fun, and i'm hoping that once the baby is home drew will be able to watch bub for an hour or so every now and then so we can make it a regular thing.
