It seems that the past few months we have been so focused on Emily that I haven't shared much about Lila. She has been so amazing through this whole process and I have been so, so proud of her! She had a few rough spells when Emily was in the hospital having her mom and dad gone so much and not being there when she woke up in the morning or went to bed at night but since we have been home she's been great! She has always been such a loving little girl often taking time out of playing to come give us a quick hug and then it's right back to what she was doing. She is such a good big sister and will be an amazing friend to Emily. Everyone told us it would be hard on her to share our attention and affection with another little person but so far she has not been jealous at all and our only problems have been when she wants to love on her sister a little too much!
Our schedule and routine has changed drastically with Emily's early arrival and unfortunately I have had to have Lila sequestered here with us at home. There are no more play dates, play groups or trips to the park on nice afternoons. We don't get to go run errands, shop the mall and get ice cream or a smoothie for being good. It's pretty much Noggin on TV and playing in the backyard. We've replaced play dates with friends with tea parties with Elmo and the rest of our stuffed animal entourage. It's a lot of cooking in our play kitchen and 'helping' to cook our dinner each evening. Sometimes I feel bad that we are stuck here on beautiful days when we could be out having fun, but she's been a trooper through it all! We've had to miss birthday parties and her favorite of all...bible class at church! I try to make each day around the house fun and exciting but there are a lot of days when I am bored out of my mind and I know she must be as well!
I'll post some pictures of our 'fun times' around the house tomorrow but Emily is up from her nap so that's all for today!
