Soon to be Big Sister

Things Madeleine has said recently that make me nervous about her being a big sister...
*
1) "Daddy, I don't want you to talk to Mommy." She has said this a couple of times when Paul is playing with her and starts talking to me.
2) "No Mommy, I don't want you to give Byron attention." She says this if we are playing and I start to pet or play with Byron too.
3) "I don't want the new baby to have my/use my _____." Madeleine started randomly claiming her stuff a couple of months ago. Every now and then she will state the above about something the baby can't have or do. Most of the time it is completely out of the blue.

I am not actually nervous. I think she will be a great big sister. She absolutely loves babies and she is so gentle and loving to her baby dolls. She just says some pretty funny things when she feels slighted.
