Owen was super excited about a new baby while I was pregnant, and when Caedmon arrived, Owen loved him right away. He wanted to snuggle and play, but there's only so much interacting that a newborn and 3.5 year old can do. And there is lots of adjusting to do when you go from being an only yo an oldest. There's lots of learning to wait and be patient and lots of moments when you decide to do crazy, mischievous, and downright naughty things try to set the world back on its right course - revolving around you.
Owen melted my heart this morning when he wanted to buckle Caedmon into a bouncy seat and "read" him poetry in the kitchen floor. Caedmon smiled and cooed and listened as Owen recited nursery rhymes from a set of books. I am looking forward to more days like this one.
