Hayden is reluctant to relinquish his spot as baby of the family. He has little fits of jealousy where he tells me to "put baby sisser in her bed", and if he hears her wake up he will run over to me and beg to be picked up, barricading my path to get to her room because he knows I'm going to get her. We have good days and bad days...the bad ones are full of lots of clinging and whining. It helps when Reese is at school and Grayce is taking a nap, because then I have one on one time with Hayden and he is such a sweet Mama's boy. It is such an honor to be the apple of his eye, and
such a privilege
to be his Mother.
such a privilege

Reese and Grayce bonded very quickly. He is very nurturing, tucking her blanket around her, and shielding her eyes from the sun in the car, and holding her hand. He will sing to her if he ever hears her cry (he sings "rock a bye baby, rock a bye baby, rock a bye baby" over and over because he doesn't know how the rest of the song goes). We have a bin filled with rattles and other baby toys. Reese took each toy out and showed Grayce what it did and set it next to her incase she wanted to play. In school Thanksgiving week they went around in a circle and said what they were thankful for. His teachers told me when it was his turn he said,
"my baby sisser".
"my baby sisser".
