Big Sister - Little Brother

Claire and Dayton got these clothes from my parents while we were still at the hospital. I’m so glad Claire loves being a big sister. She is still telling people that she has a little baby brother now -- and that his name is Dayton Cooper.

She asks every day if she can hold him. And she is always interested in seeing him when he’s awake. If he starts crying and she thinks he might need his pacifier, she will go help him (if she’s not too engrossed with her own playing). She had just put his pacifier back in when I took this picture.

If he’s awake and happy, she’ll just lie next to him and talk to him. She gives him a hug and a kiss before she leaves the house, before her quiet time, and before bed.
