Funny things Maggie has said about Eva

So we have been having a great time having little Eva home and things are going well. Megan is feeling really well and Eva is doing pretty well, but we had to take her back to the doctor's a couple of times because she has been so stuffed up that she was having trouble breathing and sleeping. Both times she checked out fine and looked great other than that minor detail of not being able to breathe! She is doing a little better now, but yes there has been some pretty sleepless nights.

Maggie loves being a sister, but don't call her a BIG sister, because she is still little (She seems to be pretty afraid of being big and wants to still be little). She loves Eva and she has said some pretty funny things about having a sister.
  • First she has been calling Eva's umbilical cord her tag, and yesterday Maggie was very excited because her tag finally fell off.
  • Yesterday when I picked up Maggie from nursery she told me and everyone else that her sister's name was Eva, but she didn't have "wings or powers." As usual I just kind of smiled and nodded, but had no idea what she was talking about. When we got home she was telling Meg about this as well, and we were still at a loss. A little while later we decided to watch a movie and thought that Wall-e would be good because that is where Maggie got the name Eva from and that is where we figured out that Maggie was talking about the robot Eva that does have "wings and powers." It all made perfect sense after that.
  • And perhaps that best moment of the weekend came when Meg was using her breast pump under a blanket. It makes kind of a funny noise and Maggie went up and said "Eva is snoring." We both cracked up laughing and didn't quite no what to say, but it was pretty funny to think that Eva was snoring. Any ideas on how to explain how babies get milk to an inquisitive three year old??
Any way, things are really going well and all three of my girls are doing very well. We will try to keep you posted with more pictures.
