John Is Good

So far, he's been very respectful of Nicholas. He hasn't blow up. He hasn't tried to throw anything or smash him in any way. We're very thankful for the fact that he's keeping a safe distance, but every so often, he starts creeping up on Nick to see if he's doing anything. It's a safe curiousity thus far.

He loves to watch Nicholas being fed. He'll just sit there and smile. Maureen gave John an empty bottle of formula to play with. At one point, he heard Nicholas crying and motioned as if to offer his little brother his bottle.

He also wants to cuddle with Maureen even more than before. He missed four days of cuddling with his mother. The porr little guy just wants to make up for lost time. He has been good about not forcing the issue if he sees that Maureen is holding Nicholas. He just patiently waits his turn and then enjoys his Mommy and Me time. I'm a distant second to cudding with Maureen, but he does curl up into a little ball like a cat next to me at times.
