Don’t put the baby on a blanket on the floor and then run around trying to get stuff done. Your preschooler will jump over him (Ahhhhh!!!) and then when you freak out about almost seeing your little boy jump on your baby, your baby will start to fuss, subsequently your preschooler will try to calm baby… By… trying to pick him up. Then, as you’re trying to keep yourself calm so you can comfort your baby as you rush across the room to get him, baby will grin at you when you bring him into your arms, as if nothing ever happened.
On a happier note, yesterday at the grocery store (yeah I took my two youngest to the grocery store, it’s official, I am crazy), I was rocking and bouncing Joey on my shoulder. Aiden reached out for him from the cart, and said “Hug.” So I leaned in and “handed” him the baby (of course with a firm grip on him) and Aiden proceeded to alternately bounce him and rock him back and fourth. It was so adorable!
How sweet!

I recall the frantic of the balance of it all — like a song — sometimes hardrock, sometimes classical — and most of the time comical.
Love you girl.
