Ean seems to be taking to his new brother really well. As you can see by the first picture Ean still has a pacifier but he only gets it at night. Ben has the same kind of pacifier but different color and Ean knows the difference. He hasn't tried to steal it, in fact he gives it to Ben and he is very careful when putting it in his mouth.

I think, he thinks Ben is like a new pet. Ean loves Larry and is real gentle with her and he kind of treats Ben the same. The first picture shows Ean "petting" Ben- he also gives him kisses (see below).

I know this affection won't last forever and as soon as Ben starts playing with Ean's toys we will have problems, but for now that he is no more of a threat than the cat he is happy.

In other news- we seem to be off to a good start. We have a good schedule going and the workload isn't too bad. Jim has been GREAT! We are tag teaming everything from laundry to dinner to diapers. He has really been helping a lot. My problem is learning to ask for help, and I think God is teaching me that. I hate to ask for anything, I think people should just know what needs to be done and I am learning and facing the fact that I can't do it all (especially now) so it is working out great. Still I can see in my own little way I am not actually "asking" for help, instead I say for example, "do you want to make dinner or fold laundry" or "do you want to feed Ean or change Ben's diaper"- I have to kind of laugh at my self but hey it works and it gives the other person a choice.

Ben has been such a good baby so far. Ean was so good I am waiting for the bomb to hit and Ben to turn into this crying screaming terror but so far so good.

Well I had typed a whole thing about our little schedule that we are on and it got deleted and now Ben is waking up to eat- so I will follow up at a later time.
