Having a Sister

Having Madee join our family has been a much easier adjustment then I anticipated.

Tyler and Jaxen adore Madelinn.

They love having a sister, and they are already so protective of her.

Photobucket

They hover over her, and stress when she cries.

Photobucket

When she's crying they will frequently try to comfort her saying, "It's okay, I'm right here".

Photobucket

The other day when Madee was crying, Tyler said, "It's okay Madee, You're a child of God".

Photobucket

Tyler loves to interpret the sounds she makes as words.

When Madee sneezes, Jaxen says "bless you".

Photobucket

Jaxen is constantly kissing her and petting her fuzzy little head (or poking at her eyes...).

Photobucket

Jaxen calls her Madee-sister or Madee-Woo (Madee Lou).

Photobucket

When she rewards one of them with a smile, they exclaim, "She likes me!".

Jaxen tells Madee he is proud of her.

Photobucket

Tyler loves to have her watch him do things. He especially wants her to watch him play soccer.

Photobucket

When Madee is in her swing, they climb behind it to play whatever pretend game they are playing at that moment (astronauts, super heroes, star wars etc). They go behind her swing so that she can go with them.

She doesn't mind being set down as long as her brothers are there to entertain her.

Photobucket

I watched Jaxen wipe some spit up off of Madee's chin with his own blanket.

They fight over who gets to hold her or kiss her first.

Photobucket

Madee and I were out at appointments and running errands for several hours while the boys were at home with Tim. Throughout the day they kept asking when Madee was coming home because they missed her.

The first thing Tyler does when he gets in the car after school is talk to Madee.

Photobucket

When I put a headband on Madee Jaxen always says, "Madee's cute".

Photobucket

I love my kids. And I love how they love each other.

I love how much they love her. They were so excited to show her to us when we came over. Adam read the blog post with all the stuff your boys say and he was laughing out loud. Your cute family is a delight.

love this quote! Don't you think it's wonderful the innate tendencies children have (well, ok maybe not every tendency) good job nurturing them! What a sweet girl :)
