Hi Sweetie Girl,

Since you were born in the late evening, your big brother Lucas had to wait until the next day to meet you.  He was staying at Elyse’s house while we were in the hospital with you.  When he was told that you were finally born, he ran to the front window and looked out at the street to watch for you.   On Monday, when you were less than one day old you got to meet the best big brother ever.  Lucas ran into our hospital room wearing his “Big Brother” T-shirt, and exclaiming “Where’s my baby sister?!?”  He immediately wanted to hold and kiss you.  He has been obsessed with you ever since!!

Because you are such a talented baby, you even bought him presents from inside my tummy! Wow!  You had them all wrapped up at the hospital, so he got to open a remote control car, a Curious George book, and a Curious George stuffed animal-  all given to him by you!!  He kept saying “Thank you baby sister! Thank you!”     But don’t fret, Lucas also brought you a present.  A couple weeks before you were born, we took him to the baby store so he could pick out  a present to give you!  He picked out a teal owl, which is perfect considering he sleeps with his own owl every night at home.    He “helped” you open the present, and immediately wanted you to play with it.

He got to hang out at the hospital with us for several hours, wanting to hold you the whole time.  Ever since the day that he first met you, he hasn’t wanted to be separated from you.  I can promise you one thing little girl, you will have a best friend for life.  No one messes with Lucas’s little sister.  We love you!
