Faith, at two and a half, is amazingly maternal. She loves tending her new sister, or her "purple baby doll" if Joy is not available. She's good at it too, and gentle.
And then again.... She was pretending to be, herself, Grandma's "sweet little baby." Then she picked up a plastic toy, rapped it repeatedly against my knuckles, and cooed, "You' sweet little baby ... cut you' fingers off!" I'm not sure where that came from, but I think it's related to the When Boys Have a Tea Party syndrome.
