I've been telling Kaida with increasing frequency that we're going to bring a baby to come live with us. I know she understands baby so I figured talking about him a lot would maybe help prepare her. She hasn't freaked out yet, so I guess it worked.
The day we came home she saw JR and just yelled for him and ran right by me. Of course he was carrying Colin so she had to wait. But she looked at him right away before she demanded more of JR's attention.
After we got him out of the carrier JR held him and was showing him to her. She touched him a little too. Then JR said "Should we let Grammy hold him?" and she held out her arms like she was going to carry him over to Grammy like one of her baby dolls. It was super cute.
After we were a little more settled she brought her blankie "Baby" over and covered Colin up with him. Also super cute. She walks up to him all the time just to give him kisses too.
She knows the pacifier goes in his mouth so she keeps wanting to put it in for him. Unfortunately that's usually when he's asleep or some other entirely inappropriate time. I guess we'll have to work on that one.
But she seems to be handling it well. She was pretty clingy for a couple days but today the three of us were alone and she was very helpful. And she's definitely feeling better now so that's good too.
