Olivia Warms Up to Her Little Sister

We've been real careful about making sure Olivia feels included in the endless day to day tasks that involve taking care of the baby, but haven't wanted to "push" the baby onto her. We casually ask her if she wants to hold the baby, and she always says no. Finally, after 4 weeks, Julia got to have a bath with her sister, and yesterday, Olivia actually asked to hold the baby, so I sat them on my bed together. Olivia would caress Julia's fine, black hair, smoothing it down, and told me, "She's OK Mommy, you can go now. She's fine." Olivia's on her way to being a great big sister.
