New skills

Last evening we had DS1 try on a bunch of clothes. I was really impressed with how much he helped, particularly with the pants. He has been pretty good at helping with shirts in the mornings for a while, but since DH gets him ready in the mornings now, I didn't realize how much he can do.

Picture Day

Today was picture day at daycare. We forgot. Oops! I'm sure people will think DS is cute in his I'm a Big Brother t-shirt, but we would have waited until tomorrow if we would have remembered. We did not intend to have baby brother be so prominent in big brother's "school" picture. I hope they have a re-take day.

It's a little brother!

DS #1 is a big brother! Little brother was born Thursday evening, and DS1 stayed overnight with an aunt, uncle, and cousin. It was his first time away from Mom and Dad overnight at the same time. Aunt said that he did fine.

DS1 met DS2 Friday after daycare and seemed to get along well. He touched his foot and head but didn't try to poke him in the eye or anything like that. DS1 did need extra Mommy-lap time, but that as fine because Mommy has a lap again and Daddy was happy to hold DS2 for a while.

DS1 stayed home with a friend when Daddy came to get Mommy and DS2 from the hospital. When I got home DS1 looked like he had been crying, but nothing was said about that. He was very tired because today was a busy day at church and not only did he miss his morning nap (as is common on Sundays) but his afternoon nap was super short, too. He sat on my lap while DS2 slept in the car seat and Daddy unpacked the car. I feel sad for me and DS1 already, that I won't be able to pick him up for several weeks, and that I won't be able to spend as much time with him. I think that he will probably adjust better than I will, especially when his weekday routine is back in place.
