Before the baby was born Avery said she wasn't going to change diapers. But she does. She also holds him when I need a hand and the two of them do a fantastic tango (although I might put that one on hold for a bit for fear of shaken baby syndrome when he gets whipped around). She is super calm and naturally maternal. But she's also got her own stuff going on. That's what's great about having a six year old - she'll help when I need her to but she doesn't crowd me when I'm nursing like a certain three year old. She even keeps that three year old occupied when I need time alone. I wonder if Cruz will like playing Barbies as much as Miles does? He apparently enjoys Barbie books - even at 5 days old.
If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charities expenditure excludes them...Sometimes our pride also hinders our charity; we are tempted to spend more than we ought on the showy forms of generosity (tipping, hospitality) and less than we ought on those who really need our help. - C.S. Lewis

What a sweet big sister. Don't you just love watching their love for the new baby! Glad you have a little helper.
Mia totally has those pj's. The flour sack technique seems quite effective.
