Tick-Tock

Mommy had her toes done for the big day! I had to have my toes painted a nice color too. I chose a lovely red for my fingers and toes. Daddy is so proud that Mommy has passed on her manicure and pedicure routine to me!

We have less than a week to go. Either my brother will come naturally via the stork or he will be carved out of Mommy’s stomach. The preliminary indications are that he is pretty big so we shall see. When I was born it took a long time for me to come out. Daddy tried to film Mommy every hour to chronicle my progress but he stopped after it became apparent that a broken camera and nose was likely if he continued.

I am so excited to see my brother and I have waited so very long. I have read books about how to be a big sister and how to take care of my little brother. I have helped Mommy decorate his room and get his blankets and clothes organized. With all of that, I have to admit that I am a little jealous so I have decided to cope by soiling myself instead of going to the potty. That seems to be getting me some extra attention.

On the day of his birth we will need to get to the hospital very early because it will be a long walk from the lot after Mommy parks the car and carries the bags inside and we want to make sure we get there in plenty of time. Once Mommy gives birth I am going to visit and give my brother a big kiss. Daddy is going to stay with Mommy at the hospital that night and Aunt Lori promised Mommy that she would watch me and I promised Daddy that I would watch Aunt Lori so it is win-win for everybody.
