I really love having children. If this new baby is in fact a boy we will have two of each. Boys are definitely special, but being a mother it is really wonderful to see the mothering instincts come out in your little girls. The role of a father is no less important but I have no personal experience with that, though I definitely see Two playing/working to nurture his little sisters. They all love to play house and Mavis loves doing everything her big brother and sister do.
Avril has been very interested in babies lately. She has her favorite doll that she dresses and carries around the house. I even discovered she was using my stash of emergency disposable diapers on her baby and throwing them away when they got “dirty.” Last night she asked for me to make a baby carrier for her to carry her baby on her back. Not to be left out Mavis who is also very interested in dolls, went to grab a doll and scarf and I had two baby wearers walking around the house.
Oh they are definitely my girls.
