The Countdown

Mya is very excited for her Baby Brother to arrive!  She asks me almost daily if he is "done" yet.  Yesterday, she told me she really wanted to take her Baby Brother to Home Depot!  She also decorated my entire tummy with stickers!  Unfortunately, I got all but 1 removed before heading to my weekly doctor's appointment!  My Doctor handled it well... telling me that all pregnant tummies should be decorated at least once!  (Pretty embarrassing!)

I'm not sure if the excitement will last once she realizes that he is here.... for good!  But, for now, I will embrace the love and excitement she already holds for her brother!  I decided to make a countdown chart for Mya.  Everyday, we count how many days are left until the day Mommy gives birth to her brother!  We point to each number and say them together.  Then, she gets to put a Dora sticker on the current day.  She LOVES this and brings me the chart each morning!  I heard her counting her other stickers while playing-  seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty-teen!  I guess we still need some work with our counting... but she's getting there!
