We were worried that when Sadie joined our family that Isaac was going to feel left out or neglected. We found out that this 3 1/2 year old boy didn't really care that there was a new member of the family. She didn't get into his toys, eat his food, or play his computer. In fact, this new little member of the family actually made it so that he got MORE TV time, MORE computer time and LESS of Mom keeping track of him. He was totally ambivalent of her for the first little while.
That all changed one day in Wal-mart of all places. He was in the basket of the cart and she was in her car seat. He reached up and began to pet her head. He looked at me and said "Mom, I love Baby Sadie". After that, he was willing to hold her and love her and kiss her. He gets concerned when she is sad and he loves to pet her head.
I think he is going to be a great, protective Big Brother!
