David and Mary continue to be obsessed with their baby sister. They each insist on plenty of "Sara Time" every day. Sara Time consists of much singing, shouting, cheering, hugging, kissing, grabbing, dragging, dancing, smothering, rolling, wiggling, jiggling, pushing, pulling, cooing, goo-ing, giggling, cackling, and laughing. Sometimes I wonder if she will survive her babyhood.
I thought having a toddler and an infant was frightening. But that's nothing compared to school-aged children and an infant because the school-aged children, with their blessedly longer attention spans, NEVER LOSE INTEREST. Sure, your two-year-old might be smothering the snot out of the your two-month-old, but that's nothing a little fruit snack or Dora the Explorer can't fix. Alternatively, David and Mary cannot be distracted/bribed/coerced from their baby sister.
Indeed, most of the conflicts in our house now revolve around Sara. Who is touching Sara too much. Who Sara smiles at more. Who has the most Sara Time. Who has the best Sara song. Who built the best fort for Sara. Who has read Sara the most books. Who has taught Sara the most words. Who wasn't gentle with Sara. Who is being a Sara hog.
Yes, David and Mary are Sara crazy.
