My Little Helper

Everyone asks, "Does Amaya enjoy being a big sister?" "Is she a good helper?" "Does she envy all the attention Weston gets?"

So... to answer these.... Yes - Amaya LOVES being a big sister. She is a WONDERFUL helper. And yes she does envy all the attention Weston gets, but understands that his needs are often times more pressing and urgent than hers. Steve and I have both been more intentional about spending quality alone time with her, but some days it's just never enough.

Amaya helps get out the diapers, pick out his outfits, retrieves basically anything we need - pacifier, burp cloth, rattle, etc. But one of her favorite things to do is help give Weston a bath. She evens gets upset if I give him a bath without her!


I let her take the lead on most everything and finish up what she doesn't want to do or can't do very well - ie. washing his tush and privates and washing his hair.


And for the most part, Weston loves his bath and is very patient with Amaya. Unfortunately, once he gets chilly, it's all over from there.

Amaya also loves to comb his hair - what little there is of it. There's quite a bit of hair in the back, but not so much on the top - with the exception of his little "mohawk".


All clean and ready to snuggle with Amaya!
