My niece trying to play with her (still-in-progress) cousin


My husband and I babysat our niece and nephew on Monday night. Our niece found some rocketship toys and she was calling them "baby rockets" and came over and was trying to "play with the baby" with the rockets.

I had my purse next to me on the couch with my camera so I started shooting what she was doing. My favorite is that In the end she sees the camera and says "cheese!"

It's interesting to me that our niece (who will be 2 next month) is super interested in my growing tummy and likes to talk to the baby and pat my belly to say hi to the baby. I'm not sure if she really understands what's going on but she talks about it a lot and likes to talk to and pat my tummy. Her older brother (almost 4), on the other hand really doesn't get it. Which is interesting to me because have been around for the growing of his little sister...you'd think the whole baby thing would make more sense to him. *shrug* Whatev. It may just be a "different kids, different personalities, different interests" thing. I'm sure he will care more once we can dress the baby up like Batman. :-D
