It's so true that we tend to put the "baby" first, which is why the toddler probably acts out. They just want attention! <BR/><BR/>Cass - Haha, I know she looks so pathetic and awful...like she just came back from a 5-day drinking binge!<BR/><BR/>Jules & Mandy - Hopefully your toddlers adjust well to the new babes coming. It's so hard for them not to be the "baby" anymore.Kindra https://www.blogger.com/profile/02836518800782385529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872933825342390521.post-35080391021777385362009-01-14T07:51:00.000-07:002009-01-14T07:51:00.000-07:00I am glad to hear that things are going so well fo...I am glad to hear that things are going so well for you guys! I hope that Eva adjusts alright:) I'm sure it will just take time. I have no idea how Layla is going to react to having a new baby brother in just a few weeks!

As I said on Steve's facebook page, that is probably the saddest looking little girl I've seen in quite a while! Hopefully she is feeling better!Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557167518751640946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872933825342390521.post-79725013732154363902009-01-13T16:37:00.000-07:002009-01-13T16:37:00.000-07:00Well it sounds like you guys are adjusting nicely ...Well it sounds like you guys are adjusting nicely to having 2! Thats really to bad that Eva got sick, kids always have perfect timing hey... I hope my first adjusts ok to the new baby! He seems to like helping out with kids I watch but I guess they always leave at the end of the day! I am sure she will get better, maybe once she can start helping out! She will probably turn into "mommy"! But as for the rest, it sounds like you guys are all doing great!Julie Hawrylukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108639260029930197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872933825342390521.post-57687586393640731852009-01-13T12:23:00.000-07:002009-01-13T12:23:00.000-07:00Wow! I am glad that you and Steve are adjusting s...Wow! I am glad that you and Steve are adjusting so well to your new addition! We had some behavioral issues with Tiana too when Micah was born. It will ease up....:) The hard part is not automatically putting the newborns needs before the toddlers! I was given pretty good advice but it was hard to follow and that was that often it is better to meet the need of your toddler first because generally it can be done fairly quickly and it's okay to let the baby cry for a couple of minutes. Whereas if the toddler is always second then they quickly feel like they have been replaced or they aren't important. Micah is now 1 and Tiana is 3 and I still have to work on not automatically meeting his needs first or favoring him because he's the 'baby'!!! Ah, parent-hood, I guess it's a lifetime job, hey?! Enjoy you guys, you sound like you are doing great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872933825342390521.post-66785560767968073522009-01-13T11:07:00.000-07:002009-01-13T11:07:00.000-07:00You only had a three hour labour!!!

I'm sure that Eva will adjust quickly.
