Big Brother October 21, 2005
So far it seems that Mason has been enjoying being a big brother. He is very sweet to Madeleine or as he pronounces it “Mad – A- Lion”. He is always asking if her eyes are open, so he can see her (he is not allowed to play with her if she is asleep). Occasionally he gets a little rough, a side effect of being a three year old boy. He has been a little emotional and a little angry towards mom and dad. OK, maybe a little is an understatement! But the last couple of days he has really seemed to be happy and enjoying his time with mom and baby sister.
He seems to actually listen to me, versus having a temper tantrum. He has shown a re-newed interest in potty training, noted by the 45 minutes we spent in the bathroom today. Or maybe he is just interested in the toys and candy he gets? Either way he is growing up fast! Ever since the baby came he has been so grown up. It is sad and exiting at the same time. I wonder if the baby is what changed him or if seeing him next to a newborn just reminds me of how much he has changed in three years. On his birthday, two weeks ago, I spent the latter part of the evening with tears in my eyes! Time is truly passing too fast. I want to savor every moment!
