Big Brother Nicholas

I couldn't stop for the day without commenting on our darling son, Nicholas's, reaction to being a big brother. We've asked him occasionally in the last several months whether or not he'd like to have a baby brother or sister and his response depends on his mood. Sometimes he says yes, and at others we receive an emphatic "NO!" Now that Baby Cai's arrival is imminent and he has seen her picture, he seems relatively intrigued by the idea. He has said he will share his toys (but not Pearl Kitty), and will help with her diapers and bottles. He also plans to teach her to jump and will play with her in the bathtub. We've asked him for help in naming Baby Cai. So far his entries include, "Donkey," "Horsey," "Dora," and "Tic Tac." I think we'll keep searching...

This is so exciting, I love being able to follow the proceedings. Yeah, and um, why the fingerprints every 15 months, that is crazy!?

Nicholas cracks me up! Caroline is partial to "Dora."

Hi Tracey, I'm Kathleen's mom. I met you and your precious Nicholas at Caroline's birthday party. Kathleen is so thrilled about your news that she sent me the link to your blog. I've enjoyed reading your happy story. Safe travels.

PS By all means call your Senator and have them take care of those fingerprints.
