It is hard being the middle child. Every day I try to remind myself to pay more attention to Esther than I have. Her world has been turned upside down since Maggie was born. She is trying really hard to find her new role. She is not so gentle with Maggie and often just lays on her because she wants to hold her. Maggie on the other hand does not like being held down, so she cries and wiggles out as soon as she can instead of melting into Esther's arms, as Esther would like. Then Esther cries and says that Maggie does not like her... So sad... However, we had a break through the other day. Esther fell and started crying. Maggie crawled to her and gave her a hug by putting her little arms around her and leaning her head into Esther's shoulder. It was a happy moment for all!
Of course Maggie continues with her house explorations which needless to say create a lot of extra picking up.
