Kira v.s. Renee
Trevor is constantly reminding me to take out toys for Renee, and to spend more time talking to her and reading to her. He thinks that being the first, Kira received so much more attention than Renee and thus Renee won't be as clever as Kira. Surprisingly, I actually don't worry about this at all. It's true that Kira was surrounded by attention and still gets a lot today, but Renee has a lot that Kira never had. Here's the list:
- a sister
- experienced parents
- more living space
Besides that, Renee still has plenty of time to enjoy me all to herself. Trevor's parents watch Kira the whole day on Thursdays, and Kira has school three times a week. She's there the whole morning until lunchtime. Furthermore, the girl nurses every 2-3 hours and that's a lot more nursing time than Kira ever had! And, I don't see any detrimental effects on Renee due to her circumstances. She smiles and laughs all the time. And, she even seems more secure than Kira ever was as a baby. I can hardly wait for more of her personality to show!
