brothers!

So, things are a little crazy around here with 2 boys.  Part of it is our own fault - we still have several house projects going on and haven't completely gotten our house back to normal.  Also, we decided that it would be a good time to potty train E since we were going to be home a lot with S anyway.  Let's just say that E is a little strong-willed and has tested our patience several times.  But we think we've seen improvement, so we're not giving up!  When people ask how things are going I just say that potty training my toddler is way more challenging than having a newborn. :) 

E is a little more needy - saying "hold you" a lot, wanting attention, and throwing some fits.  But, overall I think the adjustment has gone well, and he is very loving and gentle with S and you can tell he really loves his brother.  He likes to tell me when the baby is crying and when he is happy, and if we are going somewhere he invites baby brother along.  They are going to get into so much trouble together.
