Family of four
It's been 6 weeks now since Elsa joined the Wright household and Lucas has been very good at adjusting to having a new noisy baby in his house!
He has become a very protective and proud big brother calling Elsa "Lucas's Elsa" and when people look at her (especially when she's sitting in her capsule or bouncer) he will often position himself so that he's in between Elsa and whoever is trying to get a look!
Lucas has also been naming who is in our house as a way to get his head around us now being a family of four and will say "Daddy, Mummy, Lucas and Elsa".
When Elsa cries Lucas will give her her dummy or will put his face up close to Elsa's and say "Hello!" as a way to try and cheer her up. Elsa is quite taken by her big brother as she will often stare at Lucas and will smile at him.
We are very proud at how well Lucas has adjusted to this new arrival.

Lucas meeting his sister for the first time.
Lucas met Elsa in hospital on the Friday and he wasn't exactly jumping for joy. He was curious but also a bit dismissive and when Daniel held Elsa, well that was the end of that. Lucas decided he wanted to be held by Daniel and when Daniel asked him to wait that's when the tears started. Oh dear.
Happy Birthday Elsa!

Good Night Baby
With only 2 weeks to go before bubs due date we have now switched from saying "baby in mummy's tummy" to "baby coming soon" as this baby isn't going to stay in mummy's tummy forever!
Lucas and I bought a present for baby the other weekend and I made a big deal about Lucas picking out the present (a cotton blanket) and we wrapped it up together. The nursery is now all set up and Lucas takes great pride in pointing out that he sleeps in a big boy's bed and not a cot (bassinet).
When we say good night, Lucas will say "Good night Baby" and give my bump a kiss. Lets hope this affection continues once bubs arrives!
