big sister

so it seems that my allys is very excited to be a big sister. we went to st. vincent de paul today to get some newborn baby clothes, neutral of course, and browse some other things. she kept insisting that i needed to buy girl clothes, but was still excited to help mom pick out baby clothes. no to this one, yea to that one... i tried several times to explain to her that mommy doesn't know which baby she is going to have, so we have to buy yellows and greens because a boy baby and a girl baby can both wear them. regardless, when we got to the boy baby clothes she got a little upset with me. i explained it again and she seemed to finally understand. so she was quite a bit more picky about them than before, but we still got some cute things. i got a couple of maternity shirts and she found a red sweater with roses that she absolutely loves. unfortunately it is a bit big, but she always has time to grow into things.

she talked to me about a bed for the baby. i explained that my uncle dale and aunt mary have a crib for us when we are ready for it, but told her that she would need a smaller bed. (she has a full size bed) we found a spongebob sheet and she pretty much told me that she would love me forever if i bought it for her. i told her that i have the exact same sheet and fitted sheet at home, but she would need that smaller bed before she could have them. so she seems pretty excited. she told me i needed baby shoes and a baby bath tub and a high chair and ... big sister has an opinion. lol

when i found the craft department we discussed fabrics to make the baby a blanket. i wanted yellow for the ducky fabric i had at home, but we found nothing that worked. so we settled on some aqua blue and some matching yarn to make frillies. that is when i noticed her jealousy coming out. she never asked if she was getting a blanket, but just jumped into what hers was gonna look like. it made me chuckle, but i assured her that i would make her one too. i don't need a big jealous sister. :)
