Grammy and Gramps were first to arrive first thing on May 5th.
And that afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa Larson came to visit with a very proud Audrey. Although Joyce was sick with a cold so she didn't get to hold Clara that day.
Audrey was a bit hesitant when she came into the room. She ran to me and Carl, excited to see us. But she wasn't too sure about the new addition, Clara. She kept looking at her out of the corner of her eye. We distracted her with gifts from Grammy and Gramps. That got her attention and then after some time, Audrey got more used to Clara and put it together that this was "baby sister" that we have been referring to for the past 9 months. And believe it or not, I feel like Audrey "got it." I say that because she looked at me then she looked at Clara and said, "She came out of your tummy!"
Just before they came up to the room, Grandpa Larson took Audrey through the gift shop so she could find a gift to give to Clara. She was so proud and so excited to give Clara her gift, a cute multi-colored "Socks the Sock Monkey".
What a proud moment for Carl and me, to be able to introduce our sweet Audrey to her baby sister.
