Isabella has made a lot of steps towards being a Big Kid in the past few months: giving up her bottle and binky, sleeping in her big bed, dressing herself, talking more, etc. But, every once in awhile her need to feel like "the baby" of family surfaces. On Tuesdays we go to a playgroup and every time Baby Jackson has his bottle Isabella brings her cup over to me and sits on my lap so she can be a baby too. And the other night at bedtime she was changing into a new pair of jammies that are very soft and snuggling feeling and she asked, "are these my baby jammies?" They must have reminder her of a newborn sleeper. So I went with it, I love when the kids will let me wrap them in blankies and hold them like newborns. So I encouraged the Baby Jammie idea and wrapped her up and carried around the house. Well, she liked that so much that she wanted to wear her Baby Jammies at nap the following day and again the next night!
That's so sweet! I totally know what you mean. Izzy lets me do that with her after a bath when I wrap her in a towel. She asks me to wrap her like "Izzybaby". I think we need to scoop up all these moments while we still can.
