I’m a Big Sister Now!

Ezri was super excited to come with her grandparents and meet baby brother, Ivan, at the hospital.

Here she is on the day of his birth meeting him for the first time.

She helped adults hold him. Ezri really wants to hold him, but so far we are just letting her help.

She showed him her puppy magnets. She had me read him stories. She wanted to read him stories herself, but we didn’t have any books to which she knew all the words with us.

We are lucky the kitties in our house have reinforced the idea of gentle petting so well. She does a nice job gently patting Ivan and giving him kisses. Though, she also really wants to tickle him. . . Watch out, Ivan, your big sister is a tickler.
