Looking Up to "Sissy" Already!

Parker already looks up to his "Sissy" ("Sissy" is the name Turner would like him to call her, she informed me today).

He does perk up when she's near, and if her love hugs --Ahem, assaults -- do not kill him, they'll make him a better man.

I worried so much that Turner would resent another child, after being the center of attention for nearly three years in the Guerard household. All that worry, it seems, was unnecessary, because she thinks her baby brother is awesome. The first person she wants to see in the morning is Baby Parker, and she insists he go everywhere with us. She holds Parker's hand all the way to school every day and says, "Mommy, he's so precious." She is also very protective. We were at the library reading hour the other day, and another little girl leaned over his carrier to look at him. Turner quickly shoo-ed her away, saying, "That's my baby brother. You can't get close to him or touch him."

Watch out girls with crushes in 15 years: Turner will tell you what's up! :)
