She was totally surprised when I showed her Sophia,Christina and Angie..her baby sister Millie 2 y.o. actually was not afraid of the reborn babies(this was a total surprise)..her favorite was Sophia...Millie was a very tiny little 2 y.o...and Christina weighed her down..so I hand her Sophia to hold and cuddle.
Then I gave the birthday girl the box with Neve in..and her eyes sparkled when she finally got it opened...seeing the two a babies(Felicia & Millie) happy..made me happy...we stood 1 and 1/2 hours..while Millie was rocking and patting Sophia's back...I felt sad to take her from Millie and wrap her up to take back to my home...I got to repair their computer tomorrow and I've got a few small things for Millie when I get back to their house..it's not her birthday..but you all know the way baby girls are at certain age,how they feel and look when another child gets a gift...especially 4 y.o. and under kids
I'll give her a few DDung Dolls(mini 6") and DDung Dolls(tiny 3") and my favorite Blue Elephant Maserita(I bought at the ThriftShop a while ago for $0.80) Maserita is soft and ever so cuddily
I made sure that my niece knows that Neve is to be played with..not to just sit on a self or put back and kept in the box.
Yes is is so true about one little girl a having a birthday and the other not getting a present, we too have always given the other a small gift, untill they where old enough to realize their turn would come. I bet you will be a special part of her life always. So happy she was so pleased with her little Neve. XXXXXX June.

Awww I am glad your neice is happy with Neve. I am sure she will take great care knowing that her uncle made it just for her....
I have to give presents to young neice and nephew. They are old enough to understand but it's heart breaking to know that it's a special day for only one person. I let them know that even though this is a special day for your older sister. You get something to help celebrate the occassion. They seem to make more meaningful and they realize it's a great thing and they can't wait to share their day when it comes to be there turn...
But that's really great. It's a pleasure to see a sparkle int their eyes at any age!
