Big Sister/Little Sister

I'm so excited to see what kind of relationship Avery and Hadley will have as Hadley grows older. Avery is completely infatuated with her little sister. We have seen only a few instances of jealousy, which are to be expected (I think).
Her Aunt Donea came over and was holding Hadley and Avery wanted Donea to play with her. When she didn't, she said, "I don't want a little sister anymore, I don't want to be a big sister!!"
And one other time she was told to eat her food and because she was just mad, she said, "I don't want to be a big sister anymore!"
She can be quite the stinker.

On to the adorable things she says:
Hadley's sleeper said "Daddy's girl" on it and Avery asked me what it said. I told her and she said, "That's not right! It should say Avery's girl!"
She told me Hadley is the cutest baby she's ever seen.
She told me she loved Hadley more than a million red m&ms (this is a big deal for Avery - she loves her m&ms).
She told me Hadley is so small and so cute and so little and she would take care of her. (Cuteness.)

So, as often as she may say she doesn't want a little sister and she doesn't want to be a big sister, she says 5 other adorable cute things about how she loves Hadley. She also really likes to be involved, like with burping or changing her. She's very interested at all times in what Hadley is doing and I will hear her talk to her and say sweet things about how she loves her and she's her big sister.

Coming from a big sister to 3 little sisters, I know Avery is going to be an excellent one. She is so caring and nurturing already, she's going to be a great big sister! Maybe one day she'll have to stick up for her sister on the playground and threaten a boy that was making her little sister cry (yes, I did this to a boy that was picking on Desiree in grade school). Because that's what big sisters do.
