A typical morning

I always put Theo in his bouncy chair as I take my shower and get ready for the day. During this time Jack gets to entertain himself which rarely means doing much very far from us. He is so my son in how he loves to be with people (not meant to be a slam on Charles just an observation which Charles would agree with).

He almost always follows us up the stairs and makes some interaction game up while I get ready. Often he is the pizza man who comes to the bathroom to take my order then runs to the bedroom to fulfill the order. Even though he is the pizza man, he rarely asks me to order pizza. It is almost always drinks. The choices are usually water, juice, or beer.

Today I heard Jack interacting with Theo. When I got out of the shower Jack told me that he had gotten Theo's 'Nah' for him and his teddy bear. He told me that Theo had told him that he really wanted them. I got out of the shower to find Theo sitting here like this:




Jack does his best to look after Theo for which I am very grateful. And I think most of the time Theo enjoys it as in this picture. This is as opposed to the other day when I walked into the room to see Jack reenacting Theo getting his immunizations using a play-syringe. At moments like that one I remind myself that I am the third child, presumably similar things were done to me, and I am fairly well adjusted...I think??
