Our older son has been having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to the new baby. He has been somewhat whiny and contradictory and cries for ‘Momm-eee…Momm-eee’ more than normal. Not today though. He was fantastic today. He would run up to me and my husband and just give us kisses. Then, while we were driving to the store today, I told him that when the baby grows up, they would be friends and play together. He got the cutest smile on his face and said ‘Thomas’ indicating that he wanted to play Thomas the Tank Engine with him. Um, tear…
One thing that I have been doing every night to make him feel special and spend some quality time with him is to read his bedtime stories in our room in the big bed rather than in his room. He loves climbing into bed every night with me and cuddling while I read to him.
So cute! I love when he talks about the big bed. I'm sorry to hear that he is having such a hard time but happy that you guys had a good day today. Loveyou all
great cute and wonderful shot...How I miss those days...we had the same problem, we had a two year old then we had twin girls..!..needless to say he was always looking for attention....including jumping out of the crib....hhaha
beautiful capture of a lovely moment - great b&w and composition - and he's so used to being the only one, he's going to find it hard, and the baby is going to be no fun for him to play with for what will feel like for ever.
Gorgeous shot. Hope he adjusts quickly. It must be such a shock when they're used to having mum and dad to themselves. But he'll have a friend for life!
@kimgrowsup I used a tripod and I have a remote shutter release which I find easier than the timer. Oh and you kind of are peering through a door as I set everything up in my closet. I was trying to hide it so that my son would be more natural.
(Pssst your bedroom looks beautiful!)
He doesn't get lost in this big bed?
