Adjusting Rather Well

By Erika Clevenger



My oldest son, Marshall, was adjusting rather well to his new baby brother. 

At 4 years old, he had a good grasp on what was going on with the crying, and diapering. 

After a few simple nursing questions about what I was doing with "his" baby, he seemed reasonably satisfied. 

I had breastfed Marshall and assured him that he had gotten exactly what his brother was currently getting. 

One night shortly after our big homecoming, I went into Marshall's room to say goodnight. Imagine my surprise to see my darling 4 year old "breastfeeding" and singing to his favorite stuffed elephant, Macy.
