Gettting used to home

Maggie has been home for almost two days now and she is settling right in. She is a great little sleeper, for which we are very grateful. Additionally, Josh loves being a big brother. He is always asking for Maggie and wants to hold her and hug her and give her kisses. Today, Josh was a great helper giving Maggie her first bath at home. He told Maggie all about baths so she wouldn't scream and flail about like he did during his first bath. She just sat there quietly and let me wash her off.
Before we got in the bath, we were getting Maggie out of her diaper and Josh made a very keen anatomical observation about his new little sister. "Where's Maggie's peanuts?" A few months ago, we starting teaching Josh about his penis. Being an frequent flier and an airplane aficionado who loves getting peanuts on plane flights, Josh wasn't quite clear on what we had said and he understood us to call his private parts "peanuts." For weeks thereafter, every time we changed Josh's diaper, he would point to his penis and say "Peanuts, on air plane." Needless to say, he was quite confused that Maggie didn't have "peanuts."

Maggie is getting cuter by the minute (a trait she inherited from her mom) and she has been a complete joy to have in our home.

And we aren't wasting any time making sure she is a fully indoctrinated true blue (or pink) Cougar fan.

She is so cute!!! How funny, "peanuts", good thing to know! I'm glad you are all home and settling in. Yay, that Maggie is a good sleeper, hopefully that will make Mom's healing go a little faster!

Just as long as Josh keeps his peanuts to himself when he rides the airplane!
