2012-06-10 Another really special day.

Yesterday was a really great day because you were born.  I can already tell you are going to be a unique individual, but naturally we were comparing you to your big sister, your “nana”, and your aunt, who kept shaking her head and giggling from all that ‘deja vu’.  I was so impressed with your hands, they seem to be exploring more than your eyes.  It was a bright sunny day outside.  Your big sister was born at night, and she seemed to always be keeping one eye open even when she was supposed to be sleeping.  You, on the other hand, kept both eyes closed, but your mouth went wide open and your face bright red at the least disturbance and you’ve got a way of letting us know when you are not pleased! Of course, your great grandfather said, “You were nice and comfortable and doing just fine until they brought you out into the world.”  It’s true, but we know that you will just love it as soon as you get a little used to it.  Your big sister was sad that you were not yet big enough to play, but your father reminded her what they had already explained, that what seems like long time will be not much time at all and you who is too little to play, will turn into that constant shadow that follows her everywhere.  She said that she would be your shadow.  She liked the word “shadow”.  She knows the word “dinosaur” and she is only two.  She sang “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” for you.  She also sang other songs, told us all to be quiet, played with your “It’s a Girl” balloon, opened all your cards for you and made us read her new book, “I’m a Big Sister”, over and over, just in case we forgot. Your “nana” sat at the little table, in a little chair, reading to us outloud.  [INSERT PIC HERE]. We were all so “wowed” by your presence and your beautiful, beaming, but tired momma, your “Pa” “Pa” taking pictures and your “Popa” grinning from ear to ear. I am so amazed you are here, so pleased to meet you and so happy that you will have a lifetime to get to know all of us, your loving relatives, especially, selfishly, your grand aunt, me.
