About a month before Ella was born I took Ava shopping. I wanted her to pick out a special big sister gift to give Ella when she came home. Something to get her excited about the arrival. Of course I knew that she would want to buy Ella a million things that were actually more for herself so I prompted her in a direction I found acceptable. Ava LOVES her blanket! So we went shopping for Ava to pick out one special blanket that would be just Ella’s. She was so excited and picked out a very soft cream and pink blanket. She talked all the time about how she was going to give it to Ella when she came out of Mommy’s tummy. And that is just what she did!
Ella presented Ava with a gift also although I debated forever about what that gift should be. In the end we gave her a gift that originally was from my mom but it was just so perfect from a new baby sister… Manhattan Toys Nina the Nursing Cat. The little kittens magnetically stick to mama when they are nursing and come off just as easy for play. So cute!!! If you are not a cat person they also have a dog version. I just love it! Thanks mom for sharing your wonderful find!
Another gift I have in the wings and will share with Ava soon is a baby doll Ergo carrier. I LOVE my ergo carrier and soon Ava will be seeing Ella in it often. Now she will be able to carry her animals or dolls just like mama! It looks just like mine… So Fun!!!
