The Sweetest Big Sister...

Grace made several projects for her baby brother's room this morning. Grace was very excited to make these projects for her brother and kept asking if she could give them her to her baby brother now. Grace first painted a light switch plate for his room.
Grace had fun painting the letter "J" for her brother. She kept turning the letter upside down and saying, "Look Mommy, J and R!" (the upside J looked like a lowercase letter r). Grace painted bubble wrap and made several bubble wrap paintings for her brother. Grace chose which painting she wanted to put into a frame for him. Here are Grace's finished art projects for her brother. We ended up adding bubble wrap painting to his light switch plate. We can't wait to put Grace's special projects in her baby brother's room today. Grace is also working on an art book for her brother, which she will give to him in the hospital when she first sees him.
Thank you, Grace, for already being such an amazing big sister. Your brother will treasure your gifts always. We can't wait to share these pictures with him when he is older and tell him how extremely excited you were for his arrival. You are such a sweet girl!

You can't even begin to know how much these pictures and words make my heart sing with joy and almost burst with love. There is nothing at all better in this whole wide world of ours than to see such precious love and tremendous kindness. Grace, you are such a sweet, generous and thoughtful little girl. It is so fantastic to watch all of you get everything ready for the new baby. These are surly the-best-of-times....watching such a remarkable family getting ready to welcome a brand new baby into their lives. Sweetest Grace, Your baby brother will feel so cozy and loved because his room will full of all of your magic. I can hardly wait to have two grandchildren to shower with love and love and even more love. I cannot believe how absolutely lucky we are!! Love these pictures of our Grace lovingly getting ready for a baby brother with a J in his name!
Just breathlessly counting the minutes until Great Grandma and I come for a visit.
Love, Maddy XO

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
