Mommy Clara

Taking such good care of Baby this afternoon!!

First, she made sure all of her other "babies" were in good shape. She Hippo looked sad and so she put a hat on her - from the Texans' ice cream cart :)

Then Baby needed a new diaper. But the changing pad felt a little out of reach for our petite toddler.

Not to fret, the glider proved to be a viable alternative. 

She grabbed a diaper and the wipes case by herself. She took a wipe out. closed the top and wiped down Dolly on top of her clothes, picking up her legs and everything. I took INCREDIBLE self-control to not crack up :) Such an imitator! It's amazing!

She got the diaper on mostly right.

When she was rummaged through her dirty clothes hamper (which I later found out was to dress Baby), I took a moment while she was distracted to get the diaper slightly more secure :)

Once Baby was dressed in Clara's dirty clothes (jeans a heavy shirt rolled up drastically), Baby was ready to play.

First Clara had her "Rock rock" on her horsey.

Then took her for a walk in the baby stroller. 

But I guess Baby was hungry, because Clara took her out of the stroller, tried to put Baby on her hip to make her a snack.

:)

 Baby was put in the Bumbo and given a juice box while all of her food was put in the microwave, refrigerator and oven in turn.

Phew. That's a lot of work. But thankfully a snack was ready and Clara kept telling baby to "eat, eat" (you'll see in the video, too funny)

Clara made herself some soup like Mommy likes to eat for lunch :)

Such a precious little "mommy." It was sweet to see how many hugs and "dat oh-day"s (that's okay) she would give Baby if she fell out of the stroller or "dropped" her food. She's going to be such a fun big sister!!
