Lucy, piecing the puzzle together. Good SMELPER!

So I stayed home tonight with the girls & Aunt Kasie. They both needed some Daddy face time, although Molly would much prefer face-to-face time with "baby" as she calls Claire. We talked at bed time about baby Claire coming home tomorrow (Thurs 5/5). Both girls are VERY excited but a little confused perhaps...

A: "Baby Claire is coming home tomorrow! Are you excited!? She's pretty cool, huh?"
L: "My cousin Claire is coming here?"
A: "Yes. You're sister Claire is coming home, here, tomorrow. She's going to sleep a lot and mostly in Mommy & Daddy's room for now. That ok?"

Lucy sighs. Lightly slaps hand on forehead and drops her head back on her pillow, mocking exasperation says... "I can't be a big sister to two babies!"

To which Poppers quickly retorts, "No baby. Baby baby. Book, Book, Book, Baby Book. Read me."

Yes, she does kind of sound like yoda :-)

L: "You're a baby sometimes Molly..."
A: "Okay, easy now. Go easy with Molly... Of course you're going to be a great big sister to two babies."

Hearing "great" and "big" back to back, Lucy started stretching her arms out like she's measuring something really large. Like a fish or when someone says "I love you thiiiiiis much".  Sigh. I laugh and continue...

"Are you going to help us with baby Claire? Watch her? Change her diaper? Play with her? Make her smile? And keep her safe?" (whispered from Molly)

L: "Yes Sir!" [We've recently reinstated saying Sir in this house. I love when either of them say it unprompted. It's adorable when Popper's tries and says "yessa"].

Lucy finishes this dialogue with a whopper.........

"I'm a gonna be a goooood smelper."

Just spoke w/ Laura who pulled a Donald Trump and fired the latest RN assigned to her. You go girl! ;-) Love you miss you and will be back (well rested) to you and Claire early in the morning!
