Maddie Shares Her Life!

It's the October break in China no which means we have an entire week at home with the newly formed four. It's a good thing because we get to figure out how to bring Amelia into our daily lives. I am so cognizant of Maddie's feelings and emotions right now. She's like me though and as long as she is helping, then she is just fine. Andy and I can't be Amelia hogs in other words! Amelia "belongs" to Maddie just as much!!

Maddie always wants to hold Amelia - even when she's crying. She is a bit frustrated that she can't feed Amelia, but she helps out in soooooo many other ways. Maddie is in charge of getting everything ready for Amelia's bath. She has the list in her head knows exactly what to make available: tub, soap, PINK washcloth, Amelia's hooded towel, lotion, TWO diapers (just in case), new clothes. It was actually Maddie's idea to have two diapers - smart kid!!!
