When I found out I was pregnant with Olivia, Emma and I named her baby doll, baby Livy. Then when Olivia arrived, she became "Baby Livy Doll". I never knew how much of a support this doll would give Emma in adjusting to having a new little sister. If Olivia is doing something like getting her diaper changed or being carried in the sling, Baby Livy Doll is doing it too! So Emma just carries on with her motherly activities just as I do with Olivia. Of course Emma still needs good cuddles and sometimes some extra attention or reassurance, but overall she has adjusted very well to being a big sister.

Seattle is doing the same thing. Not all the time, but she is way more into her babies than she was before Juliet came. I love it! They are just little mothers. Hudson likes to pretend like his puppy dog is sick or needs a new diaper because he has diarrhea. I think it all has to do with adjusting. But that poor dog has had more pretend shots and procedures than any other stuffed dog on the planet!
