The common question asked while I was pregnant with Lukas was, “So what does Sophia think about being a big sister?” I wasn’t entirely sure Sophia fully grasped the concept of what a baby really was and that one would be living with us. Anytime I told her about babies or that we were buying things for the baby that was coming she had no reaction except to later point to the same items and repeat, “that’s for the baby” as if that was the term for the item.
The only time I felt she knew what was going on was one day I was looking up the important numbers for the hospital in the pamphlet they gave on my first prenatal appointment. On the cover was a picture of a baby and when Sophia saw it she repeatedly hit the picture saying, “No baby! No baby! No baby!” Yeah, it didn’t look good.
