Seeing E with her newborn cousin definitely amps things up to a whole new level of cuteness. It’s like taking a newborn kitten, tying a ribbon around its neck, putting it next to a puppy, then watching them cuddle in front of a mountain stream. Sometimes I find myself having to look away.
She likes to go up to him whenever he’s in the room, stick her face right in front of his, and make this excited smiling sound while scrunching up her face into a big grin. She walks around with that expression plastered on her face for minutes afterwards. She likes to rock the chair he sits in up and down, rather vigorously. She pushes the buttons on it for him and wiggles her butt to the music. She likes to point to his nose and feet. She likes to lay her head down next to him when he lies on the floor.
She is surprisingly gentle. I like to think this is because of the million times I have repeated GENTLE- GENTLE to her while she pets the cats, but it probably has nothing to do with that.
Today she brought over a diaper while he was lying on the floor, opened it and tried to stick it on his bottom. She also likes to give him desitin and baby wipes. Why don’t you work on changing your own diaper first, I tell her.
