For the last 5 and a half weeks Sophie has been visiting our house on weekdays. I didn't know what to expect with Frankie, I knew it would be very different from our normal. What he did was completely fall in love with her.
As for me, I had forgotten how time consuming a baby was. We had our moments of bliss and our moments of frustration. The first week was the hardest since she wouldn't take a bottle until Friday. Convincing her to take it goes up on the list of my life's accomplishments. I loved having her here, too. She is such an interactive and intelligent baby. Some of the things she does, like the way she likes to be snuggled to get her to sleep, remind me of my baby Frankie. And you can't go wrong with that.
Today as Alison was leaving with Sophie for the last time, Frankie cried. He wanted to have something to give them, so he helped me think of things he loves about Sophie and we made the picture above and got it printed. We will still see Sophie of course, but I will always treasure the time she got to spend at our house, giving Frankie a little taste of what it might be like to be a big brother.
Man, now I'm crying.
