Big sister

Kaelyn is the big sister. "Shh!" she says with her finger over her lips. "Baby sleeping." It doesn't matter whether the baby really is sleeping or not, which is fine since the next minute after whispering Kaelyn may let out a whoop and go jumping across the floor. Janessa doesn't mind anyway. She's listened to Kaelyn for nine months already and a little big sister noise doesn't disturb her rest, at least not yet.

If Janessa does cry, Kaelyn is concerned. She wants to hold Janessa and kiss her to make her feel better. So far her efforts aren't effective since Janessa usually is hungry and wants her Mommy. It won't be long, though, before Janessa realizes that her best friend is her big sister.

Kaelyn has inherited a love of shoes from her Byler aunts. She is eager to share shoes with her baby dolls or Janessa. She also likes trying on Aunt Amy's shoes.
