Today ~ was Nate’s 1st. visit
to his Honey’s & Papa’s house.
I guess to Nate
…it was the same old same old.
He ate & slept 
The surprising thing for me was
…we prepared Sam big time for having
to share her Mommy & Daddy with a baby;
but, we didn’t prepare her for
having to share her
Honey & Papa ;-/
She wasn’t in the room when Nate arrived.
I was holding him when she came into the room.
She said…
No, No, No, Honey; you can’t hold him 
Uh ~ Oh ;-/
That was very short sighted.
We have our work cut out for us.
LYM…♥

Sam is a trooper and will adapt to her new world order in no time. I had a chance to bond with Nate a bit today really for the first time. He and I had quite a chat about his responsibilities as a brother and how he will have to just accept the occasional pain sure to be inflicted by his big sister. It will all work out well in the end.
Connie Scott: We just saw the blog, and we LOVE it! He is changing so fast, isn’t he?
Connie Scott: Also, I had wondered about Big Sister and her reaction to you and Allen at your house, as that has been totally her domain, as have the two of you.
Brenda Brown Price: Yes ~ Nate is quickly turning into a “little man”. And, Sam hasn’t had us totally to herself…there’s Analeah. She really wasn’t happy to see another “one” land in her Honey’s & Papa’s arms.
Connie Scott: Oh, yes, I had forgotten that there might be a competition for attention because of Analeah.
Diane Hodge Elrod: Poor Sam! We had the same problem when our granddaughter was born; our grandson was 3 1/2, and NOT happy when they came to visit and his Nana’s attention was no longer his sole property. He came to me one time and whispered that he DID NOT want the baby to spend the night with me (as he did frequently). My heart goes out to these little ones, a new sibling is a big adjustment.
Brenda Brown Price: Thanks Diane ~ It sure is!! I will be more sensitive to Sam’s needs than Nate’s ~ at least in the short run. Let’s face it…I can’t really fulfill Nate’s needs
Diane Hodge Elrod: LOL! No, Nate’s needs are pretty basic right now, and mostly dependent on his mom
Babs Douglas: She’ll adjust . . we had a similar situation, but she’ll figure out that your love for her has not diminished just expanded to make room for Nate. Keep on posting!!!
