Big Sister Now

Hey, peanut, family meeting — you're not in trouble. It's good. You've been bossing all your stuffed animals, lining them up for school, you told us at dinner Tuesday this house needs another kid. Well, funny you should mention it — we took a little vote. The stuffed animals said yes. So did we. You're a big sister now! That's a promotion, that's a crown. There's a baby in Mama's belly who already likes your sound. So sing loud, little boss — teach 'em everything you know. You're the big sister now. You'll be the one who knows the rules, like which stair squeaks the most, the one who checks for monsters (there are none — you checked before). Your old crib's getting dusted off, your old songs get sung again — this time you get to sing along. You're a big sister now! That's a promotion, that's a crown. There's a baby in Mama's belly who already likes your sound. So sing loud, little boss — teach 'em everything you know. You're the big sister now. Half your toys are negotiable. The dog is not — we know. Some things a big sister just has to supervise. You're the big sister now. Best hire we ever made.
