Brian and I are fighting for custody of Kyle with our daughter. Kiersta absolutely adores her brother. We don't need to worry about her being over-jealous, if anything, she is over-zealous! Kiersta wants to help in all aspects of raising Kyle, which is great in theory, but often she ends up being in the way. In the 2-weeks since Kyle has been home, Kiersta has calmed down a lot and is learning the boundaries of what is and isn't acceptable. Brian and I are trying to keep her pre-baby routine as close to normal as possible and we are also trying to spend special one-on-one time with her.

I know I should appreciate the love and attention that Kiersta showers upon her brother more than I do. I'm sure that in just a couple of years when Kyle is idoling Kiersta and following her around everywhere, she will probably refer to him as her "little bother" instead of her little brother. I really am very lucky to have such a caring daughter to help out so much. :)
The adoring big sister!

That's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures, great blog! He is beautiful, and Kiersta is getting so big. We will come visit soon. Paris is looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I can totally identify with the helpful, but in-the-way older sibling. It's so sweet and yet, so...slow! : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all!
