Babysitter Jaxon

I babysit a cute boy that is Jax's age, and his little sister that is only 3 1/2 months old. I only babysit them a few hours on Wednesday and Friday - but it's been fun! I have loved having the baby around. I am so baby hungry it's not even funny! I want my sweet baby girl here NOW haha. But the other day when they were here, Jaxon was especially cute with the baby girl. As soon as she got here he wanted to help get her out of her car seat and he wanted to hold her. So I asked him to sit on the couch. Once he had, I had her across his legs with a pillow next to him to hold up her head. He LOVED having her on his lap, every time she made a noise he would act concerned and want to make sure she was ok. Then I read the boys this book that is a peek-a-boo book so they like to knock on the book before we open the "door" to see who is behind it. I  have them take turns ever other page so it is fair and they learn to share - well Jaxon wanted to make sure the baby got a turn. So on his turn he said baby's turn - so I helped the little baby girl knock on the book and then when I opened the door to show them what it was - he got so excited and clapped for her and told her "YAY" since she was the one who did it. It was so cute. I know he is going to be a great big brother - but he is also going to want to be VERY involved and helpful which I know can be a hard thing because he is so young and doesn't understand everything yet - but it has been so cute to watch him interact with her. I ask him a lot - do you want to have a baby sister like this and he always yells YES and gets excited. That makes me happy! I'm excited too!
