I think the second born kids get jilted a lot. I don't have as many pictures for Melody as I do Mia. I rushed through her baby book trying to remember stuff to say that I did one for her. We don't soak in all the wonderful moments like we do with our first.
I had 21 months of mommy and Mia time before Melody was born. I've never really had that time with Melody. So when I do get it I eat it up and cherish it. Recently Mia had a sleepover at my in-laws which gave me a full day with Melody. We did a bit of grocery shopping but for Melody this was important because she got to push the little kiddy cart at Foodland that Mia usually pushes while Melody sits in the big cart. She LOVED it until it was time to pay and put the cart away..then it was a meltdown moment but thankfully it was just her I had to get out of the store and not both of them.
She sat in the bathroom with me while I got ready and played with all my hair clips and make-up brushes, usually she's off with Mia while I do this so it was fun to have the company. She helped me make pancakes and also cooked up some specialties in her play kitchen. She hosted a tea party where I was the guest of honor and we snuggled and took a nap together.
They are all little things but so such sweet things to do together. Mia is the boss around here....for now until Melody really starts to show her what she's made of.....so Melody doesn't always get free range on all the toys with no on bothering her or taking stuff away. So I think she really enjoyed a little freedom in the toy department too. But I know she missed her big sister seeing as she asked about her every 5 minutes :)
