Sophie has this thing where she'll sort of pump a chubby little high-five hand at people and tell them "You wait, OK?", before running off to get something that she wants to show them.
This morning, I was sitting down having breakfast in the living room with her and mentioned something about Rachel, the baby that we're all waiting to have born in May.
Sophie suddenly went, "Rachel, you wait, OK, wait in the tummy," while showing her hand to the bump. She then ran off and came back trailing a bunch of leftover balloons (from Sarah's party over the weekend) that she proceeded to carefully drape over my tummy!
A few weeks back, when a set of newborn baby rompers that I had won on ebay finally arrived in the mail, after explaining to Sophie that they were meant for the baby, she then pushed up my T-shirt and tried to shove them into my belly, saying, "Give Rachel!"
I really pray she will be as loving and generous when Rachel finally arrives. I remember how we thought that Matthew was already very well prepared for Sarah's arrival, and yet he still suddenly came over and pushed her head far away from me while I was feeding her one time, declaring as he did so, "Don't need milk!"
Apart from my dismay at his jealousy, the other thing was that Sarah remained latched on the whole time she got pushed away so it was a nasty stretch and back for me. :P
