Sibling introduction

Dear Connor and Grace,

One of my favorite moments I have been able to sit back and enjoy is when you two met each other for the first time. 

We have been talking to Grace for weeks about how we were going to go to the hospital to take Connor out. She was going to stay with her grandparents. We were going to hold "Ca Ca" and tickle his toes and be very gentle with him. Connor is going to drink milk, sleep, and cry. Grace has learned many words thanks to Connor. She has her own versions of Connor, out, baby, toes, drink, milk, sleep and cry.

We had their introduction all planned. Connor was going to be out of the room so we could make it all about Grace at first. She loved the room and accidentally called the nurse three times during her visit! Grace had a handmade gift for her new baby brother. Connor was stocked up with an Eeyore and Piglet for Grace. Of course those things were just pushed aside when Grace came to the hospital to meet Connor yesterday. 

I hope I always remember Grace's initial reaction where she just stared at Connor in awe and then softly and continuously pointed saying "baby, baby, baby..." Enjoy! 

Love, Mommy
