Why He's Still Little?

To help prepare the kids for Blake's birth, we talked about babies a lot. How small he would be, how they could help us feed him and change him and play with him. Whenever we saw a baby, we pointed it out and talked about how we were going to have a baby like that. What I did not realize that most of the babies I pointed out to Campbell were several months old or were already toddlers. When Blake was born she understood that he was a new baby and that he was very small. When we brought him home she thought he should be a little bigger. Now she wakes up every day and asks Why he's still little? Why are his feet little? Why does he have little pinkies? When is he going to grow and play? She has no concept of time and when we told her she was going to have a baby brother to play with she thought it was now! I am sure that as soon as he is old enough to grab her toys she won't be so happy about it, but for now she is ready for him to grow up. I think I'll enjoy having a tiny baby for as long as I can.
