Feelings From a Little Girl

These are Madeline's current sentiments about having a baby brother. This was a conversation we had before leaving for the swimming pool yesterday:


Madeline: "Mommy, will you get in the water with me and daddy?"

Me: "No, honey, mommy has to sit with Baby Benson."

Madeline: "Well, you could just leave him in his carseat and come swimming."

Me: "I don't think that's a very good idea. I need to stay right by him. What if someone came and took him while I wasn't looking?"

Madeline: "That would be ok with me if we didn't have a baby in our family anymore. They're too much work!"

I've tried today to involve her more in my "baby work", and that seems to be helping a little. She's always very sweet with Benson, but there are a lot of jealousy issues right now. I really hope she will grow to love him.
