Ready to be a big brother!

Theo is very excited to welcome his new brother into the world. He's graduated from putting his blanket under his shirt to be pregnant like mommy to carrying his baby doll around in his shirt. Practicing to take care of his new brother!

For every temper tantrum at things not going his way, he also impresses me regularly with his adaptability and great attitude. Last night he had had maybe a little too much fluid before bed and woke up at 2 in the morning with his sheets and pjs soaked. he came to our door and said enthusiastically, "my bed is all wet!" I dragged myself out of bed to change all the wet things, and soon realized that tragically his security blanket had also gotten wet. I tried to slyly toss it aside, and he said, "I need my yellow blanket." I crouched down and told him it was wet with pee and we'd have to wash it, so he couldn't use it anymore tonight. I told him we could get him a loaner blanket from the new baby's room. We found a similarly-textured embroidered blanket, and the kid was totally cool with it. He tolerated the whole long process without a single complaint, and after a little magic sleeping dust, went right back to sleep. He keeps talking about his "loaner blanket" this morning! Here he is with his doll and his loaner blanket.
