Play Time!
Okay, I haven’t updated the blog much lately. It’s been a little chaotic around here adjusting to life with a one-year-old and three-year-old in the house! All in all, things are going pretty well. We don’t have a nighttime routine yet, which means lots of night wakings and not-so-much night sleep for the parents here. But it wouldn’t feel right to welcome a new family member without some sleep deprivation, now would it?
One question many people have asked me is how Noah has been with all the adjustments. Honestly, I don’t think I could have asked for a better response from him. He’s been just amazing with Annie. Our biggest issue seems to be his tendency to tackle her over when he’s giving her a hug! I actually think Noah had more behavioral issues BEFORE we left to pick up Annie. Now that we’re on the other side of the trip, I see that some of those problems were just his way of expressing anxiety about all the upcoming changes. Since we’ve been home, I’ve found many of those things have improved, and now he just seems to be enjoying having a sister around. Of course, he steals her toys on occasion and sometimes bumps into her when he’s busy ramming his trucks around. But thankfully, Annie’s still too young to get too worked up about it. (I kind of dread the day she starts fighting back.)
Anyway, enough random musings from me. I just wanted to note that Noah’s been a great big brother and Annie seems pretty taken with him. Here’s a little video of the two of them having some fun together. Enjoy!
