8.11.19 - Kid Snippets: Girls adjust to Calvin

We brought Calvin home a few hours ago. He was asleep when we got here, and Clara wanted us to wake him up, which of course we didn't do. We put him in his bassinet and Clara brought his burp cloth. She wanted to also get him a pillow and some toys but we had to explain he doesn't get anything else in the bassinet. She then stood next to him for awhile and made observations like "The baby is sleeping! She's so tired. She's so cute!" (We're still working on the pronoun thing.)

Later when he woke up fussing, Jane reported to me "Mama. MAMA. Beh-beh cwying!" I got set up on our bed to nurse him and explained to Clara and Jane that he's eating. Jane observed "Cah-bih [Calvin] bite!" She wanted to climb up on the bed to give him one of the balloons Don & Merlene got for him. I asked if she wanted to give him a kiss and she giggled and basically did an air kiss. I don't think she's actually touched him yet but she's building up to it.

Jack is playing hide and seek with the girls. Clara hid in the bathroom by sitting on the bathroom floor and putting a towel over her head. And then Jane brought Jack to the bathroom to tell him that's where Clara was.
