Having Deklan here has been great. First thing this boy noticed was that things weren't really normal this week. Mom and Dad weren't here so Grandma and I hung out. I didn't have to sleep in my bedroom; Grandma and I had a slumber party instead. I didn't have to take a nap, either. Then, I got to visit Mommy and Daddy at the hospital and see baby Deklan. He is little, but cute! When I was there I got a milkshake. Grandma and Papaw gave me a golf club set to play with, Grandma B gave me an official Woody cowboy hat, then Emmy brought me a Colts sippy. If getting a new brother means getting all kinds of thoughtful gifts from my loved ones then I am totally up for my parents having more of them! The next day was a little bit of a bummer. I was missing my parents and battling a touch of the fever. Sadly, I didn't get to see brother until Friday. When I did I got another milkshake, some tools from Owi, Spillmans brought me a Woody Buzz plate to eat some tasty cake on, and my neighbors gave me a cool train whistle. Then, when Deklan came home he brought me my very own basketball hoop. He's a keeper! Seriously, this being a big brother stuff is awesome!
Even better than all of the nice stuff people have given me is having my baby Deklan home with me. I love to cuddle, snuggle, and kiss him. I also help Mommy with his dirty diapers by throwing them away in the trash for her. Mom can't quit telling me what a great big brother and helper I am.
Deklan cries pretty often and he is really loud when he does. I started mocking him today. I do a really great impression of him! When he was getting a little fussy I walked over to him and said (repeatedly) "come on buddy". Mom and Dad thought it was adorable. Many times I just like to lay my head on his. He is a sweety. Deklan has been sleeping a lot which has given me some good time to play with Mommy and Daddy. I think we're all adjusting nicely so far. If only we could figure out our bedtime routine as that's something I have been struggling with so far. The crib is just too easy to climb out of.
I am loving this new adventure and can't wait to see what lies ahead and get to know my new little buddy. See you next week!
