Sweet Little Devil

Jealousy has reared its ugly head lately. Wyatt can not stand to share my attention with Jonah and Samuel. I think that his comes from having Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa’s undivided attention while we were on vacation. He has begun to sit on the boys when they are laying on the floor and bounce up and down on them, take toys away from them, and yesterday he covered Jonah’s head up with a blanket and tried to sit on it! This is really the first major bout of jealousy that I have seen from Wyatt since the twins were born and it is really hard to deal with. Part of me wants to yell “stay away from them, don’t even come near them”, but I am sure that saying that would only make things worse. So I resort to my “show me how you touch the baby with gentle hands” routine about 300 times a day. I don’t know if it is getting through to him or not. Sometimes though, I catch him kissing Jonah or Samuel or bringing them a toy when they are crying and I think that this is all part of the process….either that or he is bipolar!
