I can hear you–no kidding, Stac. But seriously, there’s a joy and excitement in the house when a baby is present. Nobody cares what’s on tv, or how the Pirates are doing, or even what’s for supper (although our lifegroup is providing some INCREDIBLE meals for us!) We’re all learning to adjust to the newness of Charlie. It’s been a long time since we had a baby in the house. It’s all coming back to me, and Team Sublett is proving to be very baby-friendly. Levi even followed me downstairs this afternoon to get a lesson on diaper changing. There’s a special bond that develops between a big brother and the little brother who needs a regular dose of Butt Paste.
Charlie had a really good night last night. He fell asleep about 11:30, and didn’t wake up until about 6! I don’t know if that’s going to be the norm, but we’ll take it. He’s snoozing soundly right now. I’ve got a couple of bottles at the ready, and the changing table is fully prepped in the event that he needs a freshen-up.
We did have a few little squabbles among the older members of Team Sublett today. I don’t know that they’re directly related to Charlie’s arrival. Sometimes families fuss at each other, right? We try to identify the source of the conflict, work toward reconciliation, and talk through the problems. I did send the kids to bed at a normal hour tonight. Sometimes all the fussiness stems from being tired. That’s not reserved for babies, is it?
Here are some pics from the past couple of days. We are having a blast!
Oh–and that pic of Sadie in Paisley’s crate–we don’t use the crate for our kids. Paisley went to see the vet today to get “fixed” and Sadie was comforting her. We’re a nurturing bunch…
