We've been trying to talk up the merits of being a "big girl" to Avery before Hayden gets here.
"Big girls use the big girl potty!"
"Big girls pick up their toys!"
"Big girls ask for things nicely!"
"Big girls share and help Mommy!"
Etc. It's been a big deal recently to do things like a "big girl." So yesterday we had the following conversation... (and for those not familiar, Avery calls her pacifier a "sucky." And it is her favorite thing ever in the history of the world.)
Mommy: Are you going to share your suckies with Baby Hayden when she gets here?
Avery: Yes, Mommy! I share like a big girl!
Mommy: Are you going to give all your suckies to Baby Hayden?
Avery: No, Mommy.
Mommy: But are suckies for babies, or are they for big girls?
Avery: Mommy, suckies are for babies AND big girls! (Using exasperated tone to imply that this clearly need not be explained.)
Of course. What was I thinking?
