Going in for a kiss...
Holding his 'wee hands'...
Liam thinks his little brother is the best and is very gentle and loving with him. He's still a bit noisy and will jump on the sofa when Ollie or I are holding Cian which winds up disturbing his little brother. He's acting out a bit at school and had an accident the other day- the first in months. I know this is all fairly normal and hopefully keeping his routine during the day (going to daycare, etc.) will help him get through the transition. It's really difficult to try and maintain patience when you are exhausted and just want a bit of quiet. Both Ollie and I have been guilty of shouting at Liam when he gets extra excited, acts out or is difficult. We're trying to use more reasoning at gentle voices to discipline him. I'm trying to get him involved in helping with Cian. Hopefully this change becomes easier for him each day.Cian got Liam a present for being such a great big brother... spiderman costume and Liam loves it!
Liam is very keen to help out and hold his little brother. This is his first attempt at holding him. The novelty wore off quickly and he wanted to get up after a minute...
More Cian pics to follow!

Everyday will be a little different I am sure, it takes several weeks for things to really return to normal. It seemed to all fall into place when I really was the one who adjusted to having an extra little person around. It was right around the same time that I started to get a grip on things that Sam did too. As soon as he knew what to expect out of AR, he did fine. Liam is going to absolutely love Cian in just a short time! You will be so surprised at how helpful and livesaving your 3 year old will become. Sam is the only one that can make AR laugh and smile when she is really upset, she loves him and he loves her. Liam and Cian will be best buds the minute Cian can crack a smile at Liam.
So happy to see my grandsons meeting each other for the fist time. I too look forward to meeting the "new addition" in a few weeks. Get ready for the motherload of stuff coming over from NJ... You and Ollie will have to hassen up the building of that extra loft room inorder to accomodate all the extras!! Love to all...Nana Jersey
