Still

Still a big brother! Bryce is still obsessed with Carson. If he's eating, Bryce is kissing his head saying..."Mommy, I love him so much I can't stand it." If he's crying, I hear, "Mommy, are you going to get him?" If he's laughing, we hear, "Hi Carson, your big brother's here."
I am also convinced that he truly feels his pain...in a non-corny kind of way. The other day, I had tried everything to soothe Carson...he was fed, changed, not tired...and I decided he just had to cry in his swing. I put him in the swing and started to put clothes away in his room. Not long after (a whopping 30 seconds) Bryce came in and gently reminded me that the baby was crying. I took one look at his concerned little face and decided it was time we have a talk. I explained to him that sometimes baby's cry even when their Mommy's think they shouldn't. This chat went on for about 5 minutes and by the time we were finished, I thought he understood. He walked out of Carson's room and within 30 seconds, I could hear him sobbing. I came right out, looked at his tear-stained face and asked, "Bryce, why are you crying?" Without any thought, he replied, "because I don't want him to get sick from crying and it hurts me when he cries." I guess what I am trying to say is we truly could not have asked for a more suited big brother than Bryce!
