Week Two of our new family is going well. Josie is playing with Mad and Soph a little bit more, probably directly proportional to the fact that they are mauling her less. It just took a few days for them to realize there was a little person in there too.
Josie’s a super waver, clapper and dancer - she loves to wiggle her body to music which is totally cute. Mad and Soph have started camping out in Josie’s room at night, and are petitioning to keep doing it through the school year. 4 days in, it seems to be going OK, but they’re starting to take advantage of Josie’s ability to sleep through everything - I had to police loud thumping “bedtime stories” the girls were telling each other, reminding them that there actually is someone else in there!
One day soon I’ll hopefully catch a great smile from Josie on camera - whenever she sees me with it, it reminds her that I’m not sitting right next to her, prompting fake crankiness and other less than photogenic activity. Wish me luck!
