Yesterday the girls played so well together. They were in one of their labor and delivery kicks. (Aw, girls after their Mama's own heart.) They came to show me Emily at 9 months pregnant, about to give birth. Baby doll up the shirt, with its bottom up--all set to "head out." A few minutes later, after a speedy, silent, and immaculate delivery, Abby acted as Em's postpartum doula. She helped Emily swaddle baby Sarah, (all of Em's babies are named Sarah) and helped Em change into a snuggly postpartum nightgown. And when it was time to pick up before bed, Abby was adamant that Emily not lift anything as she had just given birth. Very wise and thoughtful. Then they lugged a dolly pack-n-play up to Em's top bunk so baby could sleep next to her during the night. And perhaps the sweetest thing...Wade got home late and went to kiss all the kids goodnight long after they were asleep, and he found Emily with her newborn snuggled in next to her, and her nightshirt pulled up as she had been "nursing" her baby and fell asleep.
These are the kind of things that make me love having little girls!

That is really sweet. She'll be great mama some day. They both will. They are learning from your great example.
