So far Jane’s older sisters have been happy to have her around.

Even Ivy who had been hoping for a brother and has asked multiple times about when she can have a brother she is still happy to help out with her new sister.  Ivy’s been a great helper when it comes to getting things Jane needs, things Mom or Dad need – that’s a different story…   And after a hesitant first day or two she now wants to hold Jane every chance she gets while she sings her “sleeping songs just in case she’s tired.”

Clara, is more in the smothering with love stage.  Jane gets blankets, toys, books, hats, and pacifiers shoved into her mouth whether she wants them or not.  So long as you’re ready to protect Jane from sharp edges and outright smothering under blankets and stuffed animals Clara’s attentions are pretty cute. This morning though John came in to find Clara crying on the floor next to Jane and I. When he asked what was the matter, Clara tearfully repeated her request that I had been denying:

“Me poke baby Jane eye please!”

At least she said please.
