Siblings...

We thought everyone was adjusting well to the newest addition. Sure we have had a couple of comments like "put the baby down" and "why do you get to touch her when she's sleeping?" We have also had a few more arguments between the middle two, and they have escalated quickly. I thought it was very revealing yesterday when we were preparing to leave the house on an outing together that dearest daughter #2 made the comment "Great! You know who will get all the attention!" Which is true? How many times today did someone stop and ask the older three anything except - are you the big brother/sister? (or some other question that relates to the baby). Everyone asked how old is the baby? Is it a boy or girl? (This question amazes me when the baby is dressed in pink stripes with a pink ruffle...) Was she born with that much hair? on and on the questions go....No wonder the older ones are a little upset....
