When you have a second child, one of the big concerns is how the first child is going to react and how he is going to treat the new baby. Though James has struggled a bit with the decreased amount of attention, he has been wonderful with his new baby brother. If I go into his room in the morning without Baby Jack, James will ask where he is. When James takes his bath, he always wants Jack to join him. And tonight was the sweetest... When Jack cries, Josh or I will sometimes put our pinkie finger in his mouth to suck on which helps calm him down. When I do this, James will often times tell me, "NO! Don't do that Mommy!" I have explained to him that Jack can't suck his thumb yet so I let him suck my finger instead. Well, tonight after bath time, I was getting Jack dressed and he was crying. James walked into the room a few minutes later when his bath was over and put his finger in Jack's mouth. Jack started sucking and stopped crying! James was so proud of himself! It was so sweet that James wanted to help Jack and had been watching us to know how to help him stop crying. Now is the challenge to teach James that only Mommy and Daddy can help Jack stop crying that way!!!
I love having my cloth diapers!!! Jack has 11 diapers and James has 9! James only uses a few each day so he never runs out. Jack, of course, goes through all his diapers every day (and I have to use a few disposable) which means I have to do laundry every night. Boo! That part is not terribly fun but it is great to go through so few disposable diapers each day! And the boys look so darn cute in their cloth diapers!!!
I love watching my boys sleep! I love watching the monitor switch back and forth between their rooms and seeing them sleep so peacefully!
There was something else cute I was going to talk about but I can't seem to remember right now. Bummer! Maybe I will remember at some point! Love to all!!!!
