How is this for timing, the weekend before Lydia is born Elliot came down with hand, foot and mouth. Pretty much delaying and making it impossible to meet his new niece until he had time to recover. They were so excited and we kept seeing Uncle Glenn, but they couldn't see Lydia. Elliot would blurt things out randomly like "I love my baby cousin" or "I don't like babies, but I love my baby cousin" and mention that he wanted his rash to go away so he could see her. Erik predictably wasn't very interested, but Elliot was obsessed. He really wanted to meet his first cousin.
So last Sunday between activities we stopped by for a very quick visit. On the way there each boy decided they wanted to sign Lydia a song. Elliot sang "Lullabye" and Erik chose "Twinkle, Twinkle." Erik pretty much got bored with Lydia and moved on to find his toys or play outside and Elliot stayed obsessed watching her almost every single second. Very interesting that I have two boys with two very different reactions. I think Elliot is realizing he isn't the youngest anymore and has made several comments about that.
