Ellie spends a LOT of time talking about her baby sister. She wants to know how she's doing, and all the things she can do for her when she gets here (Can I help her put her shirt on? Can I take her on a walk? Can she sit in my doll's bed?). It's insanely adorable and promptly makes my heart explode into a thousand pieces.
Obviously there's going to be some serious adjusting when she realizes the image she has in her head of baby sister is not quite the reality, but goodness she wants to help and is SO excited, which I think is a good start.
Today Brad took Ellie to the park, and on their way out, Ellie found two small pinecones she wanted to bring home (pinecone hunting is a fave these days). Apparently the whole walk home, Ellie was talking to and for them, calling them sisters, singing to them, and saying things like "I love you soooo much, baby sister", and "you are so perfect and I love you baby sister".
I can't. I just can't. Seeing these two together for the first time is going to be a joy like I have never known in my entire life and I can.not.WAIT.
