Schuyler's babies


So how is Schuyler feeling about all this? Well, try being a two year old that gets moved with her parents to Kim and Ward's house, then a great big hurricane comes which sequesters you inside for two days, then you wake up one morning to find you've been left at Kim and Ward's and don't see your Dad for a day and your mum for three days, then Wardy Baby goes "on an airplane, see Lara" and then you come home and there is a real, live baby in the house who everyone wants to meet and play with but you are not allowed to carry him or change him or poke his eyes out or any fun stuff. It would be pretty off putting.
Fortunately, she is rising to the occasion and is still fascinated by Charlie and keeps trying to get him to play with her. The top pic is her reaction when we said she couldn't hold him because Lucy was holding him at the time. The bottom one shows the gift Charlie got her (named "Alexandra" since that's what Charlie would have been called if he had arrived with different plumbing). She's been pretty satisfied replicating our behaviour toward Charlie with her poupee which is a relief. Still early days.
On a meta note, it is 4:06am and we're just at the end of our first night feed. Charlie slept four hours and we actually had to (against all will to the contrary) wake him up to feed him! Well, done little guy. Well done.
