Siblings

Someone had mentioned to me yesterday something I actually had not thought of, the fact that Sydeny could possibly be resenting or even hating her brother for being born.  The thinking was that ever since Xavier was born, Daddy left, and Mommy spends so much time in the hospital with Xavier. Possibly thinking that if Xavier wasn't born Daddy would still be living at the house and Mommy would never have to leave for periods of time. She has never said anything to make me think that she does feel this way, nor has she ever once been mean or tried to hurt him in any way.  She has always been very loving toward him. Sydney always wants to hold him, kiss him, and is so excited when she can get down on the floor and "play" with him. I completely understand that she is only 4 years old and processes what is happening in her own way, but she is doing a wonderful job being such a great big sister and she even calls herself "little Mommy" or she will say call herself little "Mariffa" (she can't quite say her "S" yet, so translation "Marissa") :)   I am very proud of the way she is acting through all of this and how much I see her growing up as a wonderful little girl!

So happy to hold him!

Loving on him!
