I brought it home from the hospital just like she did my brother. And whenever she took care of my brother, she made sure I had my doll and I did the same things with my doll. I named her Baby Jane and I still have her. :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022022071471135672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779134083824902362.post-53465712311840734632011-02-04T09:42:56.409-06:002011-02-04T09:42:56.409-06:00This isn't necessarily an idea of an activity,...This isn't necessarily an idea of an activity, but a friend gave me some valuable advice shortly after Silas was born. Her advice was to not make Isaac always feel like the "bad guy" or that Silas was more special. Practically it meant when Silas was playing with baby toys and Isaac wanted to as well, I didn't say, "That's Silas' toy." As long as he hadn't taken it from him, it was okay and vice versa it made it easier when Silas grabbed one of Isaac's toys to teach him about sharing. Also, when Isaac needed something I was bad about saying, "Hang on, I'm feeding Silas, changing his diaper, etc, etc." But I didn't do it in the opposite situation. If I was doing something for Isaac and Silas was crying I started saying, "Hang on Silas, I'm wiping Isaac off or I'm putting on his shoes, etc. etc." I was amazed by how special this made Isaac feel. He smiles when he realizes he's the center of attention for the moment and his need is first occasionally. I don't know if that made sense, but it helped me a lot and I feel like it has helped ward off some resentment toward his baby brother who demands a lot of attention.Desiréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817926827450635109noreply@blogger.com
