One of the things I’m getting excited about is seeing Zoe in the big-sister role. I feel pretty confident that she’ll relish her new position; as mentioned before, she has already taken a great interest in the baby. The other day, she kissed my stomach and said, “I like you, Baby Sister.” And after she jumped on me recently and was gently reminded to be careful of the baby, she bent over my stomach and said, “Sorry, Baby Sister. I didn’t mean to.”

Zoe has been spending a bit of time with Elena’s newborn granddaughter, and Elena reports that Zoe likes to gently pat her and plant kisses on her forehead. Zoe has also been doing a lot of caring for her “baby” stuffed animals – just yesterday, she tucked into “bed” and sang to sleep her little badgers (which are actually part of a baby mobile). The badgers are still there today, serving as a happy reminder of Zoe’s nurturing nature!
