"Mama, me and you"

So, as Kacy has become a part of our family full time, Adilyn has had her share of tantrums and fits when I can't carry her or play with her because of Kacy. Honestly, she has done much better with the addition than I thought she would. Some of the funny things she does is that when Kacy starts to wake up or starts to cry a little, she will run to me and say, "Mama, hold you." The funny thing about that is that Kacy could have been asleep for hours, and she never wanted me to hold her until she knew I was about to hold Kacy. If she wants me to hold her, and Cory is around. She will say, "Kacy hold Dada, Mama hold Adilyn."

I can't imagine how hard it must be for her to have her whole little world turned upside down by this little baby that has taken over the family. I know that kids have been dealing with new siblings for years, but it just makes me so sad for her at certain times. She was my entire world for two whole years, and now she has to share me. I know that she understands more than I think she does, but I still wish she could express herself to me a little more, so I would know what she was thinking. Bedtime used to be my favorite time with her - reading and relaxing after the day, now it's so hard because Kacy is in there and it's not our special time together. I know we'll all get our new routines in place soon; it's just an adjustment period for all of us.

I really try to spend as much time with Adilyn as possible when Kacy is sleeping. Her favorite things to do these days are coloring, hiding from us, dancing, and reading books. Whenever she wants me to do one of those activities with her she'll say, "Mama, me and you? Me and you?" No matter what I'm doing - I cannot resist when she says that. So sweet.
