Sweet Big Sister

Reagan is really becoming the sweet big sister we knew she could be. Now that she realizes that Presley is indeed staying and we're not replacing her with the baby chicken Reagan requested, I think the big sister instinct is finally kicking in. Reagan wants to hold Presley and often walks past and pats her baby sister's head. She also enjoys getting in Presley's face and letting baby sister indulge in her favorite pasttime: pulling hair.

Of course, warming up to her baby sister hasn't stopped Reagan from requesting other diversions. So far she wants the aforementioned baby chicken, a real Mackey dog, and a pig just like Wilbur. Explanation on the Mackey dog: We once owned a Sheltie named Mackey that we had to give to another home when he became aggressive when Reagan was a baby. We bought her a stuffed version so that she would always remember him. The pig reference is probably in response to our recent viewing of Charlotte's Web. Not sure where the idea for the baby chicken came from.
