Everyone wants to know:

"How is Boy1 with Boy2?" "Does he like the baby?" "Is he getting jealous?" "How are you adjusting?"

The answer, in short, is yes. Patrick adores Christopher. Especially when he's hiccuping, tooting, or nursing. We're adjusting well, especially since mr. waaz ended up with 12 days off work(!) and has been spoiling me rotten. I've even had time to do some crafting, if you can believe it.

Today was mr. waaz's first day back at work, and it went extremely well. CB behaved like a 2-week old (eat, sleep, poop, repeat) and EP behaved like a 2-year-old (word explosion right now, btw). Then something happened that just about brought a tear to my eye. I was in the kitchen doing some dishes while CB slept in the bouncer and EP played nearby. CB started fussing and I dried off my hands to go in and "fix" him. Before I could even make it to the living room, EP had found the paci, stuck it in his brother's mouth, and was patting him on the chest with their cheeks together. As soon as I walked in, there was a lot of explaining (in toddler lingo) of what had happened, and what had been done to remedy the situation. I managed to catch the rest of the sequence of events on film. Could it get any cuter?
