Bebe

We all visited Cat's friend Julie and Neil today. They have a new baby, just 9 weeks old I think, very tiny anyway, but a really happy chilled out little newborn. For me it was striking to see such a small baby again and reminded me of things to come when our next one is born. The real test came with Aimee, who I wanted to see how she would react to the little baby. I had nothing to worry about, she found the baby adorable, and wanted to see the baby and when she did, she was all smiles and pleasantness. Aimee kept repeating 'bebe, bebe'and making a sort of sleeping gesture with her hands, which I found really cute.
I did half worry that Aimee may not be cool when our new baby arrives, but on this evidence, I think she'll be quite excited.
For the rest of the day, Aimee tore around their house as if she owned the place. Another interesting test I gave her was to walk down the stairs by herself. She passed with flying colours, albeit with the occasional steadying by holding on the bannisters.
Bless our Aimee, she is not a baby anymore.
