It’s just the way it is. Babies get more attention. I know Nate is not a baby anymore but he’s still in that age range where people notice him and talk to him. It happens all the time when we take the kids out to eat or shop. People approach Nate and start goo-goo talking to him. Nia usually doesn’t pay it any mind but I think she’s started to catch on that these strangers are going all silly over her brother and not her. The last time it happened was particularly sweet to me.
The waitress was having a conversation of sorts with Nate. As it continued for a good few minutes, Nia sat up taller, stuck out her head, smiled her hugest smile and batted her big eyes, hoping she’d get something from the lady – anything. The waitress never even glanced up at Nia. She walked away leaving Nia to wonder, “How’s come she didn’t see me?”
Well, I saw you Nia. Mommy always sees you – no matter how many smiles and laughs Nate is sharing with others – you have my attention – and you don’t even have to work for it.
