I was sitting with Claire on the couch and she started to cry. Madeleine immediately jumped up and and tried to make her happy.
She thought if she got really close Claire would stop crying... it didn't work.
Madeleine is such a good big sister. She has not been at all jealous or had any negative reactions to Claire. She takes some interest in Claire and what she is doing but she also gives her space. She has also been really understanding when I have to do something for Claire and she has to wait. There have been a handful of times when she has asked me to put Claire down and if I can I will. I have to say the only "bad" thing is that she takes anything and everything that is for Claire. So far I have only been able to keep one stuffed dog away from her. So really I can't complain because of course a two year old is going to want any new toy that comes into the house and think any present is for her.
