Big brother

I was worried about how Joshua would react to Ellie, as I imagine every mother is when there is a new addition. I especially thought about what he would think when he couldn't climb into my lap while she is eating. Well, when he is awake, I sit in the rocking chair next to a little bookshelf in his room. He enjoys pulling books off the shelf and placing them in my lap so I can read to him while she eats. Joshua also likes to stroke her head and poke her eyes and nose... I am thankful that there is a reflex that causes her to close her eyes in those moments!
