Eliza is doing really well with having a little brother:
- She likes to hold him (sometimes without assistance although we've always caught her before she has actually picked him up).
- She wants to share things with him (toys usually get shared her way, she can frequently be found wearing the wrist rattles that she gave him when he was born. She did share with him, once. We found a strawberry shortcake doll that had been tossed into his lap while riding in the car after he let out a squeal).
- She doesn't mind his crying (she just kicks his carseat while we're riding along to get him to stop, which totally doesn't work).
- She loves to give him hugs and kisses.
- She loves coming in to see him first thing every morning and is super excited to see him open his eyes (usually in response to her talking and poking him).
- She thinks the baby gear all over the house is cool (for her toys, not for Simon).
Pre-bedtime bonding session. Eliza is "checking her email and playing Starfall" on the laptop that Brian made while Simon watches.
Sibling bathtime-Eliza in the tub and Simon on the counter since he still has his umbilical cord at 3 weeks. Eliza's never fell off. The pediatrician ripped it off at 4 weeks. If Simon's doesn't come off soon then his pediatrician will do the same.

"kicking the seat" too funny. And stealing the wrist rattles? ALWAYS. But in about a year he'll be taking her stuff too, so it evens out.
