Remember when I said I had started taking care of a little baby boy part time? Let's just call him "Bubba." That's what we call him. Little bubba, bub, and bubby.
Well ever since then, Sophia has taken a huge interest in babies. Especially lately. She wants to help with everything. It's adorable.
So yesterday while she was with Sammy, I spent about an hour in Target debating on what to buy her. It was so much fun for me! We've only actually bought Sophia a few toys. Most everything has been given to us, or bought by other people, so I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty buying her something (and buying something so close to her birthday!).
I found a baby doll on sale and a doll diaper bag with some accessories. When I got home I pulled out a few of Sophia's preemie clothes (which fit the doll perfectly, by the way. Crazy!!) and found a few newborn diapers from our little bubba that no longer fit him. I also cut up some fabric for her doll wipes container. Not sure who is more excited about this... me or Sophia? ;)
She played with that baby all evening, and we spent a little over and hour first thing this morning, taking care of baby.
It has been a good reminder that she is watching and learning so much from me. I see her do and say things that I do with her and bubba. It makes my heart happy to see her being so sweet to her babies. :)
She says things like "I love you, baby," "shh, shh, shh," "aweeee," and plays patty cake with them.
She LOVES to use the wipes and change diapers over and over again.
She also likes to wrap, and unwrap the dolls in their baby blanket. I plan on making a few more baby blankets with my extra fabric. And for her birthday I'm going to make a baby carrier like the Ergo carrier Aaron and I wear Sophia in. But shhhh, don't tell her. ;)
What a sweet, fun age she is in. Ahh, I love it!
