Lorelei took over all my mothering duties! She loves to take care of McCrea. She loves to hold him, kiss him, feed him and sing to him. He actually responds to her well and stops crying to hear her sing. There is an obvious bond between them. But how much is too much smothering? She still treats him like a rag doll, moving him here and there. She lies down one second, sits up the next, swings him to the left side, then suddenly changes her mind and puts him on the right side. She then kisses and hugs him TIGHTLY! I guess she REALLY loves her brother and looking on the bright side, she is taking on that maternal role and not the JEALOUS sister syndrome. It could be worse, I'm glad there is no hitting or hurting him involved, just an over enthusiastic, sisterly LOVE. Mommy was in bed on Day 2 in excruciating pain for most the day, so luckily Lorelei and daddy were there to save the day. We finally got the pain meds under control and Day 3 turned out much better.

I remember how Alec used to do that when we brought Dean home. He kept trying to touch Dean's eyeballs. I think it's great that she wants to hold him and help, and let's all hope that McCrea is resilient. =)

So cute! Lorelei - you are a GREAT big sister!
