When I was pregnant with the Lion, my OB saw his profile in the womb and told me I was having the same child again. He’s my “repeat.”

Guess who is distracting her? Yes, the Lion. He just can’t help himself. I’ve even caught him sucking her toes. Yes, I know. Yuck. But he really can’t help himself. He loves her so much. He’s always kissing her, whispering to her, touching her fingers, loving her. But what’s funny is that one day he got too close, and she caught his hair in her tiny fingers. And you know how babies clasp their hands like a reflex? Well, the Lion started to cry and blamed her for pulling his hair and it made me laugh. They are so cute together because her curiosity fixates on him, and he adores her every move. And the result is a doting brother, who runs for her binky when she cries, and drags her carseat to the door when it’s time to go. Now that’s brotherly love.

You see this boy, here? He is so cute, and so smart and so, so naughty. These words were spoken by his Montessori teacher. She loves him, and admitted he knows her weak spots. The Lion plays to everyone’s vulnerability, and smiles that cute smile you see below to get away with everything.

My Caterpillar enjoys spending time with her brothers. She smiles when they talk to her and she’s quieted when they’re in the room with her when she’s fussing. She’s calm and trusting…except when I place her in their lap. Then she looks at me like I’m crazy for leaving her in their arms.
