This week..
-- Elle continues to be the best big sister. I honestly don't think we've had a jealous minute yet. We have had very few minutes where she needs corrected/restrained around him either. Sometimes she gets a little generous with blankets but she understands baby life pretty well "Baby brother just drinks milk! He is too little to play with this toy right now!" But she wants him involved in every aspect of her day "Bring baby brother over here so he can see me brush my teeth! Callllllllll! I'm brushing my teeeeeeeth! See?!!" If we talk about going on a walk or another activity, she double checks that "everybody" is included. She loves to hold her brother and somehow is able to contain her 3-year-old impulses during that time. He has been a great newborn too. He eats well, sleeps well, and hardly fusses. He is also very tolerant of his sister. We have a few days left of T's 2-week leave from work but I think we should be able to make that transition without too much headache. We are loving this spring weather and have spent most of our evenings outdoors checking on the garden, planting a few new things in the landscaping, playing with neighbor friends, drawing many chalk designs on the driveway, and riding Elle's scooter around the block.
