Sister to Sister

Sayler,

It's a busy time at home- baby sister has arrived!

And what Alana should know, always, is that the person who wished for you and ached for you the most was big sister Sayler. 

Sayler waited anxiously for your arrival- always kind, thoughtful and reflective when discussing you, very presently well before your birth.  She had been helpful with mommy as mommy's pregnancy carried on without end and mommy could no longer chase her around the park, bend down to pick up forgotten toys, stay awake late at night...

Sayler always asks to give you kisses, to help change your diaper, to give you a pacifier when you cry.


She thinks breastfeeding is fairly disgusting, though I sometimes see her pretend to breastfeed her baby dolls. 

I must share my hours with 2 daughters instead of just 1- and Sayler is the most gracious of all children to forgive the limitations on mommy's energy, time and devotions.



To Sayler: Little sister and I and daddy love you so much and appreciate you, and your love for your baby sister.  


Thank you for being such an incredible and supportive helper and delight in our lives.

Mommy
