When Anne was first home Henry really didn't care at all. He didn't seem interested in much of anything that had to with her. Well, that has changed and sometimes it is good and other times it is challenging. Henry loves to be my helper and will help change diapers, throw away diapers, burp Anne, wake her up by tickling her feet, talk to her to make/keep her happy, tell me if her eyes are open or closed. Sometime he tries to be too much of a helper and will pick her up, wake her by peeling open her eyes, try to roll her over, rock her when she's in her bouncy chair. Sometimes he treats her like a fun new toy and will try to jump over her when shes lying on the floor.
He's also been trying to get our attention and wants to do everything that Anne does. This is okay sometimes, but making obnoxious crying sounds when Anne is screaming is less than helpful. One thing that makes me laugh is that he likes to do tummy time with Anne. So, they both lay on their blankets on the floor and I'll sit and talk to them. I've tried to explain to Henry that being a baby is not fun, so he shouldn't act like a baby but this doesn't seem to matter to him.
He really is a good big brother and a good helper to me, but being a two year old means he has his moments of challenging behavior.
