Clarita continues to be an amazing big sister! She really loves Emmett and tells him so all of the time (it melts my heart)! She is actually quite helpful (for a 2.5 year old) and brings me burp cloths, lets me know when Emmett is crying, and entertains him by talking to him, playing peek a boo, and acting silly. She observes how I interact with him and copies me in her interactions with Emmett and her dolls. She uses the same voices and inflections that I use and it is so cute! I really thought that Clara would quickly tire of the Little Guy or be jealous of the time he took up. So far that has not been the case and she generally wants him to come places with us. I have offered to take her places without him and she always says that she wants Baby Emmett to come too. When people ask if they can take Emmett home, Clarita becomes upset and will request that I hold Emmett. At first I wasn't sure why she was requesting this and then I realized that she was afraid that they would take him if I wasn't holding him. One day she yelled at Grandma Donna, "Don't take my baby Grandma Donna!" I love seeing these two together and I can't wait to see all the fun they have in the years to come!
Being the big sister has its perks and Clarita gets to play with her friends!
