It is a challenge adjusting from one toddler to a toddler and a new baby. It has been hard on Gavin as well but he is getting used to the idea that baby Grant is staying. When we first brought Grant home, we had a flutter of people visiting the house and bringing food. It was nice to have the company but every now and then Gavin would ask if they were here to take baby Grant home. We had to assure him that Grant is staying here with us.
We tried to give Gavin extra attention during the first few months after Grant was born. He enjoyed the attention, especially the time with daddy! At first, there were many presents coming in the mail for Grant. Gavin would see the package, think it was Christmas, and try to open the present. He would usually be disappointed that it was clearly not for him. Every now and then, we would receive a few presents, one for Grant and one for Gavin. He would get so excited that something came for him. One of the gifts we documented was a set of gifts from Aunt Rose. Gavin was so excited he carried his gift into a few different rooms before he opened it. Everyone has been so generous with all the calls, emails, cards, presents and food. We appreciate everything during this transition in our lives!
