Almost daily we see exactly what a wonderful big sister Anna will soon be. She loves to take care of her babies. For some time now she has been strolling them, rocking them in her small rocking chair, giving them milk and even soothing them as she makes a pretend crying noise as she quickly pats the baby on the back saying, "shhh, shhh." It melts my heart to see her with her dolls. I can only imagine what it will be like as she holds her brother or sister. Not to mention anytime Anna sees a baby she immediately says, "baby" and makes a beeline to get up-close and personal with the little one. When Anna woke from her nap yesterday she decided it was time for her babies to take a rest. She asked for me to "tur on fan," which we do before we put Anna down at night (turn on the hall bathroom fan). She then asked for "ights off" and "tur on dance, dance" (music on). She then proceeded to crawl up in the chair that we use to rock her, along with her "bankie" (blanket) and began rocking and soothing her baby. She did this for some time as I did various things around the house. At one point I came back into her room to find baby asleep in her crib and Anna working on getting her pink bear to sleep.
Wonder if she will have as much success with getting her brother or sister down to sleep?! When asked if she wants a brother or sister, she quickly responds each time, "brudder."

i think it's cute that she wants a brudder. :) she has the cutest personality
How sweet! What does Anna charge to come and soothe real fussy babies? I might need her in a week or two!
Love to see how nurturing comes so naturally to our little girls.
so sweet! river was the same way with her dolls, and continues to be nurturing to her "brudder" all the time. only with the occasional, "ASHER!!!" slipping out. ;)
just teach her "back to sleep" and she's a regular babysitter. haha.
She is such a sweet little girl! We love little "brudders" at our house...we hope she gets a really healthy one!
She will be a great big sister! Precious pictures! Thanks for sharing. Hope you are feeling better!
