Brotherly Love
Before our little one (Luke) was born, I worried about how our almost 2 year old (Carson) would react. Would he be insanely jealous? Would he be able to share Mommy? Would he try to hurt the baby? How long would it take him to adjust to having a baby in the house? I also felt that I would be letting him down. He was such a Mommy's boy and I worried about not being able to give him the attention he deserves. Well, a month into being a big brother and he is doing just fine! Carson is a great big brother. He loves his little brother. He gives him about a hundred kisses a day and when Luke cries, Carson is the first to take off running. Of course Carson has to constantly be supervised around Luke. It is out of love that Carson wants to share his snacks, toys, and drinks with Luke. He doesn't understand that Luke can't eat pretzels yet and he can't catch a ball. Carson is still Mommy's boy and I love him even more now that I see him as a big brother. Each time he holds out his arms and says, "Hold you." to Luke it melts my heart. It is special to see that growing relationship between two very small little boys. Luke is already amazed by Carson and Carson is equally amazed by Luke. I look forward to the years ahead as these two little guys have each other as best buddies. 2 comments from 2 users

I heard that one of the best gifts you can give your child is a sibling and I know that is SO true! This was a really sweet post and had me remembering my daughter when she was developing her role as big sister :) posted by

Like CheezieMommie, your post reminds me of when my second son was born...Colby was not yet 2 years old. I had the same concerns as you. But, to see them bond and grow to love one another....it's a great thing! You will see that they will be best friends and brothers....Sure, there will be fights - but, my focus has always been on shaking hands, giving a hug and forgiving after saying "I'm sorry." They can almost do it on their own now....keep sharing! ;)
