The Day You Became a Big Girl

Today marks the day that you became a big girl. Elizabeth and Cosette are the same age as you were when they were born.
I will never forget that feeling as I watched you come in to meet your new baby sisters. You became so big in just a few short hours. I was shocked at how that could happen and wondered what life would now be like with three little ones as we all tried to adjust to life with preemie twins!


You are such a good big sister.


You are the ring leader, the director of play, the color of plate decider, and loved and copied in every way possible.


These little babies...


Are now these big babies. I suppose they always will be as no one will come after them to displace them.


You nursed your babies right along with me as I nursed mine. You cried when I could not hold you as much as you wanted me too. You were so helpful and mostly potty trained yourself.


I love you so much, my G-Joy. My oldest, my first, and always my big girl.
