Adam's reactions

It's been over a month since we told Adam that there is a baby girl in Mommy's tummy. The first words out of his mouth after we told him was "Can I see the baby?". He was very sincere... for 3 seconds, then he was back to playing with his trucks, ha ha.

Since then though, he is very understanding of what is going on (for a 2 year old). Sometimes he randomly wants to go upstairs to play in "Lanie's Room", as he calls it. Sometimes he talks to Lanie through Mommy's tummy, sometimes he rubs it too.

But, all in all, he is taking it amazingly well. I'm excited to see how he acts once she's finally here. I think he's going to be a great big brother.



Also, we decided to put him in a big boy bed, so that there is a couple month buffer before he sees his crib again in Lanie's room. We didn't want him to think that we chose her over him with the crib, so we decided to try.

The first time he saw his bed, he cried a little bit, saying "I don't like my bed, I like my crib", and things like that... but that only lasted for about 10 minutes, once we put him in bed, I crawled in with him and read him books. He loved the fact that Mommy and I can now get in bed with him. And from then on, he acts as if that's the bed he's been sleeping in forever! Now, at naps, he just crawls in and goes to sleep.

He's an amazing little man, and we're very proud of him.
