He loved that.. He helped me change her, feed her (didn't breast feed). he watched her sleep. If I was on the bed with her he would play with her on the bed and everything.. Now she is 19 months old and he is 3 years old.. All he tells her is I'm your big brother and I helped mommy with you when you were born. They play together and they love it... But like I said i was nervous bringing her home and seeing how he was. At first he couldn't even be bothered. He could care less. But a few days later when she cried thats when he got involved..
