Aidan, my big helper!!

So Aidan has transitioned fairly well I would say to having a little sister!! He asked me today as I was going through some CD's with his baby pictures on them, who his big brother was. I felt sad for a split second that he won't get that "big brother/sister" to look up to but I also know that someone has to be the big brother/sister.

Today while I was making dinner, Brookie was a bit fussy and just wanted to be held constantly. That was hard because I was in the middle of doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, and making pancakes for dinner. Aidan kept running back and forth between the kitchen and the family room where she was chilling in her swing to soothe her and put her binky in and to get the swing moving slowly. We still need to put batteries in the swing.

I am so blessed to have Aidan helping me out so much and being my big helper dude!! Whether it be in the back seat as we are driving or if she is fussing and I am busy or even if I am not busy, he will love on his sister and help her out and do his best to soothe. He has been known to pick her up out of the bouncer while it was sitting on the floor even!! She was fine, Just not my idea of something I really wanted my 3 1/2 year old to do with my 6 week old (at the time) baby!! He now understands the ground rules a bit better.

He just loves his little sister so much that he doesn't want her to be sad. He even waited to eat so that I could eat my dinner tonight while she cried. That way I could nurse her while he ate. He is such a generous boy. I wish I could devote more time to my sweet boy but he is doing ok with sharing John and I. We try and do "date day's" with him and I because he gets a lot of time with John already. I really love my helper boy!! I hope that he continues to be as helpful with his little sister!!
