Think about it. For the last 9 months, she hears her beloved parents talk about the coming of another baby. As we knew the gender of the baby, we told her that Mei Mei (younger sister in chinese) is coming and for her, the idea of a mei mei is that of Daphne's bump.
As the bump grew bigger, so did Maegan's re-inforced idea that Mei Mei is but a growing bump. A bump that she kisses and touched and said "Hi!" to.
Fast forward to yesterday as she waited to see her "Mei Mei", she realises that mummy's bump is no more and all of a sudden, her dad pushed a baby thru the door and the bump she knew and loved so affectionately is now a living baby that looks just like her.
I wonder what went thru her mind?
Whatever it might be, she fell into her role of elder sister naturally. She wanted to see Meredith. Wanted to touch her, "love love" her and planted a kiss on her cheeks. Even when adults are talking, she would climb to take a sneak peek at her.
And finally, she got the chance to carry her. Sweetest image seeing your eldest daughter carrying her little baby sister.
I'm going to enjoy this moment. I'm a realist. I know it's not going to last for long because the last time I asked Maegan "Can Mei Mei sleep in the same room as you?"
"No! I don't want!" is her gentle sweet elderly sister's tone reply.
Oh boy.
:)
