Bedtime Brother Story

Not knowing what to expect from Oliver with a new baby around the house I feel he has been adjusting fairly well. Lucius is sleeping most of the time. We ask Oliver if he wants to hold him, but he's more willing to give Lucius a kiss or a hug and be done with him.

Last night I put Oliver to bed, a little while later I heard him crying. Lucius and I went upstairs to check things out. Oliver wanted to cuddle, which I was more than willing to do. Afterwards I told him it was time for bed and asked him to crawl into the crib. He did and said "Baby Lucius lay in crib?" I asked if he was sure and he cleared a spot on the bed next to him and tapped it with his hand to show me where baby Lucius was supposed to lay down.

I walked Lucius over and laid him down. Oliver laid right next to him, touching foreheads. Oliver even offered Lucius his 'Bunny' for the briefest of moments. I would consider that a great start to Brotherly love.

Oh my, what a long way he has come in just a few days. Oliver is going to be such a good big brother.
