Lincoln J & Lawrence A

Lincoln is so in love with his little brother! We had hoped that Lincoln wouldn't be too upset about the changes in his life, and so far he is doing really well, with only a little bit of a tough adjustment the first day or two we've been home.

He came to visit us in the hospital three or four times, and had asked to come again the day we got to come home. One morning when he was leaving, he said "I'll see you later tonight, Lawrence!" (Unfortunately he didn't get to come back that evening, but it was so sweet!)

Lincoln loves to give Lawrence kisses, and often sits and watches him to narrate what's happening - "He yawned! He went like this (then copies the baby's gesture)."

Lincoln loves to call Lawrence "little brother" and "baby brother," and he is almost always in the baby's room when Lawrence is nursing, just hanging out, talking to me, or observing Lawrence. Lincoln frequently tells us and others "My baby is cute!" and "I love our baby!"

One of the sweetest moments so far was last night when we talked to Lincoln about how he was going back to preschool today. His eyes welled up, and I asked why he was sad about that. "I want to stay with Lawrence!" We talked a while about how good school is and how he can come home and tell Lawrence all about his friends and what he did. He was better this morning and fine when Brad dropped him off.

I know they won't always feel so happy to be with each other, but we're enjoying it while we can! We are so happy we have our two boys!
