At first, Jackson was jealous of Kate. He couldn't stand that she was taking mom and dad away from spending time with him. Then he tolerated Kate. He realized she wasn't going away but didn't exert himself to play with her and if she didn't something he didn't like, he bopped her on the head or pinched her leg. Not nice. But, the last couple of weeks as Kate is starting to scoot and babble, he realizes that she's kind of fun to be around and is now very protective of her. For instance, she was crying while I was making lunch and so he found a big spoon to give her to calm her down. Also, he loves to make her laugh. He'll do all sorts of crazy antics to get her to smile and chuckle. I am so grateful this special bond is beginning to form between our kids and hope it continues forever.
What a sweet big brother!
