Our children are all very excited to have a new sister in their family. The cleft lip did not phase our oldest two boys, Mason (9) and Carter (7). It was amazing to me that this didn't impact them at all. It made me proud.
Our youngest son and daughter, Caden (4) and Riley (2) did notice her lip. Caden asked a few questions about it, but seems to be fine now. We explained it the best we could, and that a Dr. will fix it someday. He promised that he would be nice to her and give her kisses. It brought tears to my eyes. Riley stares at her pictures and says that is her new friend and sister. Tears again.
What a journey this has been so far...and I think it's only going to get better.
