Despite what can best be described as her initial ambivalence, Little Miss J has stepped into her big sister role beautifully. Of course, it helps that her little brother isn't as high maintenance as she was because then it may have been a completely different story.
Little Miss J seems to really like being the big sister, when it is convenient. When J2 cries, she is quick to run to him and tell him that everything is OK. She likes to touch him, but needs consistent reminders to "be gentle." When she comes home, she asks where her baby brother is. Last night, she helped give him his first bath and comforted him as he screamed his little lungs out.
She's been a bit whinier than usual, but we've been trying to give her some extra attention. We do something special with her each day. Gus has taken her to the park, the pumpkin patch, out for ice cream, and yesterday we all went to a local fall festival.

Little Miss J certainly loves that both Gus and I have been home. She told me that she didn't want me to go to work anymore. That I should just stay home and play with her. I'm not even the fun parent, which just goes to show how much your children love you!
