Just like the others, special times, routine and all that... however...
Give it time. It's only been 2 weeks. I remember my baby sister coming home (I was almost 6 and had been the only child that whole time), and I really wanted a sibling... there were times I told my mom to take her back! It just wasn't what I thought it was going to be! (besides I wanted a brother!)
If it's that hard on bio's with an infant that they've known about for 9 months, think what it can do to a 5 yr old and all of a sudden it's someone close in age taking her "stuff" (that would be mom and dad too).
Just keep talking, loving on her, giving her special time (still have to remind our oldest that he doesn't have to get jealous when I hug one of the others...there's enough hugs to go around).
Good luck!
