Big Brothers


Lincoln is fascinated by his older siblings. He watches everything they do. After months of careful study he determined this: I need a younger sibling close to me in age. He put in an order and a younger brother is on the way due to arrive in October.

I think if Lincoln had talked to his brother Bentley before he put in his order, he might have had second thoughts. Bentley was blessed with younger siblings when he was seventeen months old and he found the experience overwhelming. It wasn't easy at first. Maybe because there were two babies at once? Now Bentley's happy that he has a younger brother and sister to share his days and nights with. Especially at night as Bentley would not like being in a bedroom alone at night.

Kara overheard Viva giving advice to Lincoln on the subject of younger siblings: "You know Lincoln, you're going to be a big brother. You're going to have to do chores."

What beautiful news! Congratulations! Genevieve gets to keep her status as "the girl" and the boys are going to rule the house and LOVE it. From my experience, two little boys less than two years apart grow up to be best of friends, but when they are more than two years apart, there's a lot of fighting that goes on. Good timing!
