A very helpful big brother!

Brendan has been quite "helpful" of late. Besides trying to help change Luke's diapers by tugging on the buttons of his shirt and then wiping him down (clothes and everything) with baby wipes. Yesterday, he took an empty water bottle (one of Brendan's favorite toys) and was holding it up to Luke's mouth so that he could take a drink. He also took one of his toy cups and a fork that he had taken from the dinner table and pretended to feed Luke whatever was in the toy cup. It was cute because he even made sure to scrape it out like Mama and Daddy do when they feed Brendan something. Today, he also took turns talking on the mouse with Luke. Brendan talked for a bit then put it next to Luke's ear, then back and forth.


When Luke is fussy, one of us will try to offer him our pinky to suck on, since he doesn't take a nuk. Today, Kira got this picture of Brendan helping to calm Luke down by offering Luke a taste of a Brendan finger.


Here is a different angle, but it looks slightly more violent to me. For some reason the other one looks much more gentle and this one looks like Brendan is jamming his finger in Luke's mouth (maybe that is what happened).


Brendan has also helped with entertaining Luke by demonstrating the toys for him.

We are still here, tired and everything. We're all looking forward to the vicarage placement service next week. Tomorrow, we have the dart toss to tell the placement office where we want to go. The closest and furthest darts from their placement receive prizes! I would aim for Mongolia, but it's just a map of the US.
