The Happy Parents-to-be: Emma! We have a surprise for you!
Emma: What?! I love surprises (sits on the couch, hands folded, eagerly awaiting her gift)
The Happy Parents-to-be: We are going to have a new baby! YOU are going to be a big sister (following 6 months of baby and big sister requests from Emma)
Emma: That is a TERRIBLE SURPRISE!!!! (totally irritated)
Dan to me: Well, that was different from what I envisioned in my head.
at least she has some time to warm up to the idea :) so far baby cannot sleep in our house or play with Emma's toys.
Me: Emma, do you think Daisy will like a new baby?
Emma: Not if we get a bad grumpy baby that chews her toys.
