Over the weekend, Ess picked out a new hat at the store. So, Sunday's church outfit had to be completely planned around the hat!! Here's our little diva:
And, here's the tomboy. Having way too much fun with worms after a day of rain! (Yes, she dressed herself!!)
We could not be more proud of how Essie handled her overnight transition from only child to big sister. While most kids get 9 months to prepare, we had a 5 minute conversation as we rushed out the door to head to the hospital! Even during our 13 month wait, we had no way or preparing her, except to ask if she'd like a brother or sister one day. Situations from the agency were all over the place - from families choosing to place early in a pregnancy to 5 and 3 year old siblings. We wanted to be open to whatever God has in store for our family!
Really, the only issue we had was potty regression. And, that happens when kids do have 9 months to prepare for a baby! As Audrina grows and becomes mobile, I'm sure we will deal with some typical sibling issues - she took my toy, she's touching my blanket. In the meantime, we will enjoy how much Ess loves her little sister!!
