It's very easy to forget that Joel is the little brother....We know it's just a matter of time when, physically, Joel will no longer be the "little" brother, but for now: the boys wear same size, Joel weighs 3 more pounds, Joel is 2 + inches shorter....but I still forget! I think we all do... especially Eli :) It amazes me how much Eli pays attention to what Joel does and notices how we interact differently with Joel. Lately, when we cut up Joel's food, Eli will turn and say to us, "Joel baby?" or if we ask for baby wipes while changing Joel's diaper, Eli will say, "Joel poop?" We have started prepping Eli that Joel will be turning 2 in September! We start to say things like, "Look at Joel, what a big boy"...to which Eli replies very defiantly, "NO! Joel baby!" :)
Here's to the little brother!!!
