Big Sister Blues

Kylee has a hard time adjusting to life as a big sister. As expected, she's shown many of the classic signs of jealousy and regression. Her first week as a big sister was filled with fits and meltdowns. Luckily, she's done a lot better the past few days. Last Saturday Rikki took her to Mia's birthday party for me. She's been so much happier ever since. I think seeing all her friends really helped. Things are calming down at home as I'm getting used to having a newborn around again, and we are starting to get back into some of our usual routines. I think that, along with having some of our friends over to visit , has also helped. Its been rough, but I think Kylee is slowly adjusting. Bedtime is definitely the biggest challenge for us right now.
Despite giving me such a hard time, its obvious that Kylee is proud of her sister. The first thing she does when anyone comes over is show them Makenna. "Look! I have a baby sister!" she says. Every morning as soon as she wakes up she asks where Makenna is and asks to hold her.
