My New Contributor

I'd like to introduce you all to my new contributor.  She is a very funny, talented, and smart individual, and I'm ecstatic to have her blogging here with me.  Without further ado, I give you Miss Hope:


Hi.  My name is Hope and I'm going to be writing here every other Wednesday.  For my first day blogging here I'm going to talk about the story of my baby sister.

Well, we were sitting having dinner one night and my mommy said she was preagnet.  And to tell you the truth I was not very happy.  Actually I cried A LOT.  But then a lot of months passed by and I started to like the idea of having a baby sister.  We also took a shopping trip for baby stuff.  Then a few more months passed by and it was time for her to be born.  When I first saw her she was still coverd with belly juice so I would not touch her, but the nurse gave me some gloves so I could touch her. 
When I put my finger inside her hand she grabbed it really hard.  She had blue eyes.  Her name is Poesy.  Another thing I can tell you is that she is the ultimate milky face.  She's almost five months old now and she thinks I'm really funny!  Well that's all I have to say.  Talk to you next time!  Bye!


P.S.  I loooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee her sooooooooooo much!!!!  -Hope

    I remember when I was 4 years old and my baby brother was born, I was not very excited. I asked my mom (while he was crying and screaming) if we could "take him back" because I wasn't sure I wanted him anymore if he was always going to be so loud. HAHA!

    You are so beautiful and smart and sweet and I loved your blog post! I can't wait to read your next one!

  80. I read this post with my kiddos and they were so excited.

    Riley (my 9 year old) has a defunct blog and was inspired to start writing again. Lola (our little sister) said "Little sisters are really great when you get to know them."

    Looking forward to posts from Hope & mama. xo

  87. Hi sweet Hopey! I'm looking forward to reading your blog posts! I think that you are going to have a terrifically interesting feature and I'll bet you have a great blog of your own one day, too.

    I remember feeling a bit conflicted about new siblings when I was a kiddo but my sister Theo (remember her?) is seven years younger than me and we are very best friends now! I think it's so great that you love Poesy so much and you are such a great helper to your mom and dad. You are such a special girl!

    Watching you grow up is a real treat, lovely girl. Oh and your writing is really good, tell your mama she is an awesome teacher!

  96. Awwww I'm so looking forward to Wednesday!!! My daughters are only 2 years apart but it still was an adjustment for my oldest, but 99% of the time they are best of friends :) Poesy is lucky to have you!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Hope, what a great first blog post! You know, my little sister is 10 years younger than me and I had mixed feelings when she was in the 'belly juice', too. But, when she was born and I was holding her in the hospital I was the first person she smiled at (which I was told by the adults that meant she tooted on me) but that connection made me feel so special to her. I'm sure there will be moments when she's making you a bit crazy like my little sis did me, but being a big sis has been one of the best rewards in my life. I look forward to reading about your big sis experiences!

  99. Hope, you're adorable, and that blue hair looks so great on you! I'm 15 years old, and I wish I had discovered blogging earlier because bloggers like your mama are super inspirational and so cool! I think it's awesome that you're going to be blogging too. When you get a little older it'll be so fun to look back on your old posts and see what you were up to at this age. You're a great writer, keep it up!
