So, how's it REALLY going???

Life with 2 is wonderfully crazy! Now that we have been getting used to the "new normal" for almost 3 weeks, I can say that it just doesn't get any better than this! We've had a few bumps along the way, but all were minor and we are so thankful for our sweet family of 4!
David had one long, hard week after all the attention (i.e. grandparents) left. He spent a few days crying over everything, especially the word "no" and nothing seemed to make him smile. However, he never took it out on Jon. He truly LOVES his brother and likes being a big kid by helping. David wants to read books to Jon, bath Jon, and hold him all the time. The other day he told me "I HAVE to tell him secret!"... so he leaned down and whispered "I love you" to Jon. I thought I would cry, it was so sweet! And the other day he put a baseball in Jon's lap and said "keep your eye on the ball". I guess he is trying to teach him about baseball already! We are thankful the transition was short lived and David is back to his happy, 2 year old self!
Just for documentation I want to add a few things that David does now that he is sharing his world with Jon:
- He sleeps with a stuffed animal every night now (see above picture)
- He always wants his milk cup while I give Jon his milk
- He likes to "rearrange" the toys in his room while I'm nursing and can't get up (see picture below!)
- He has been waking up some nights and wants to get in bed with his daddy
David has been spending more one-on-one time with his daddy and they are both loving the extra attention ;)! So, I guess we are all getting used to the differences around here... David is coping well and I'm getting used to parts of my house looking like this:
YIKES!
