A present from Lila

He was a good sport for the first 24 hours (eager to help change diapers, hold her & love her) but I just don't think Will was anticipating that Lila would stay much longer...

Last night, Will started screaming "Baby! Baby! Baby!" from his crib.
We thought he wanted to see Lila, so we brought him out to the front room, where I was holding her. Will then asked for me to hold him, so I set Lila down & let Will climb up on my lap. He snuggled in so closely & so tightly to me & again said, "Baby". I asked him, "Will, are YOU the baby?" to which he promptly replied, "Mmmm Hmmm!" It honestly made me cry. At 22 months old, Will really is still my baby & I just hope & pray he will quickly adapt to his new role as big brother. He's such a good boy, that I really have complete confidence in him!

So, Baby Lila decided to buy Will a present today. Needless to say, he's already a little bit happier about having Lila around!

He should totally be allowed to act like that for the first little while. Who wouldn't want to be that baby right? The baby gets everything! But it was sure nice of her to buy Will such an awesome gift!

What a good idea--a gift from Lila. And he is still just a baby. Cute little stinker.
