How time has flown by. The days have turned quickly into months, and Caleb's initial apprehension and jealousy (It's not all about me anymore!) when Dylan was born, has turned into a brotherly love so sweet, filled with lots of hugs and kisses.
Here are a few pics of Dylan when he was first born:
Caleb coped with Dylan's arrival bravely, and turned to his "best friend".... his papa.... when he grappled with issues about why he now had to share mummy with someone else. Here is a snippet of their conversation:
Caleb: Papa, why does mummy have to feed Di Di?
Papa: Because Di Di has to drink mummy's milk.
Caleb: Why does Di Di have to drink mummy's milk?
Papa: Because only mummy makes milk for Di Di.... Wait a minute... let me check, maybe Papa has milk for Di Di?? Do you think papa has milk for Di Di?
(Caleb laughs...)
Caleb: No..... Maybe I have milk for Di Di???
(Caleb lifts up his T-shirt and checks.... then chuckles.... )
Caleb: No, I also don't have any milk for Di Di.
Papa: So I guess mummy has to feed Di Di, yah?
Nowadays, Caleb has only hugs and kisses for his brother (other than the occasional grouchiness when he wakes up from his nap ;-)), and is a great source of comfort for Dylan.
Some illustrations if I may:
Dylan: (crying his lungs out in the car)
Caleb: Di Di don't cry, Kor kor is here, ok? Kor Kor sitting next to you. Kor Kor sing to you... you don't cry.... (Caleb starts his rendition of "Jesus loves me this I know")
or
Caleb: Di Di don't cry.... if you cry anymore, Kor Kor going to take ruler and smack your backside!
Dylan: (crying again)
Caleb: Mummy, I think Di Di is hungry. I think you better give Di Di milk.
or
Caleb: Di Di, don't cry... I tell mummy to give you milo or apple juice from her tummy, ok?
Okie, enough of child talk, more pics of the boys:
