Part of the Family

When Norah came to visit us in the hospital, and meet her new baby sister for the first time, she was attentive to Penny for about five minutes. Really, that was about all we could ask from her at her age.

The very first thing she noticed on deciding that she was bored with the baby was my collection of bracelets. They were all pink. She was really impressed that they matched. Then Mark showed her that he had a matching bracelet too. By the time we showed her Penny's matching anklet, she was asking where hers was. After all, she was part of the family too.




She even pointed out the matching collection to my sweet labor and delivery nurse when she came in to check on me. Lucky for me, my nurse has two kids. She left for a few minutes and returned with a special "Big Sister" bracelet for Norah. God bless nurses who have time to pay a little extra attention to the big sister!

That's adorable! I might even ask to have an 'extra' on hand for Aiden - since he will certainly notice that as well. :)

This post made me really happy. :) It is so amazing that we have the technology to not only capture these moments (in a decent-looking way now, thank you 1982 35mm camera...haha) but ALSO share them with "the world." Norah and Penny are going to love looking at these posts years from now! :) :) :)
