Mama's Little Helper

      When Nile and I first brought the baby home things were a little touch and go with Mykel.  She would say the baby is "SOOO CUTE!" but then she would be jealous that he was using all her old stuff.  I have been trying to let Mykel know that some things are big girl things and some are baby things, but to her, there is NO DIFFERENCE.  According to her, they are ALL her things.  So, in effort to tame her jealousy, I started incorporating her in everything I do during the day.  Whether that was, giving the baby a bath, to changing and feeding the baby, to cooking and baking, as well as singing to the baby when he starts crying.  She took well to this.  I guess she was just feeling a little left out. 
       NOW, I can't get her to stop helping.  She does not like it when the baby is crying.  So, as soon as he starts to get a little fussy she is stuffing the pacifier into his mouth and then she tells him "It's Otay, stop crying, stop crying."  Its all too cute....but for the kicker.....  My midwife said that this might happened but it didn't happen until a couple days ago.  Mykel has started to take care of her baby dolls like I take care of Maddox.  So as my little copy cat, she goes to get her baby because I said that Maddox was hungry.  As I begin to nurse him, I turn to my right and there Mykel is nursing her baby doll.  She had the whole doll under her shirt and then proceeded to burp her moments later.  I wish I had a picture to show you guys, it was all too cute.  However, I am not sure how I am supposed to handle that situation or if I need to do anything at all.  Any suggestions?
