Blue strip NOT blue baby!

Paige has been very interested in taking care of baby Ali. She loves to change her diaper, help with her bath and pick out her outfits.

I was explaining to Paige that the yellow strip on the diaper turns blue when she goes pee so we know when to change her.

Having forgotten about this conversation, you can imagine my panic when Paige was in with Ali one day and began yelling “the baby is blue, the baby is blue!” I full sprinted into the room only to realize she was talking about the diaper strip. Wheeeeew….

Luke's gift to Ali -

 

Ali received lots of great gifts from friends and family at the hospital and when we returned home.

The most meaningful and special gift she received was from big brother Luke. He announced shortly before Ali was born that he was going to give her his Floppy. None of us believed it as he is/was so attached to Floppy. As soon as she came home from the hospital he gave her Floppy and hasn't looked back. He is always putting Floppy next to her. He did have a couple nights of waking multiple times as he adjusted to life without Floppy but never once asked for Floppy back. I told him that his gift to her was the most special and important gift she received as it was the one thing that was most special to Luke in his life. Such a sweet thing :)

 Luke is so in love with his new little sister. He is always hugging and kissing her. He decided that she loves Elmo and puts it on the IPAD for her. I’m sure he is waiting for the day she can interact with him.
