Parker just isn't so sure about this whole big brother thing. He is really struggling with the situation. We are very fortunate that he isn't hitting or biting the babies or Mommy. The temper tantrums are horrendous though. There are days where I could guzzle an entire bottle of wine. When I asked the pediatrician last week about this situation I broke down in tears. Basically, we were told to ignore the temper tantrums but reassure our love and support. Not what I wanted to hear. Isn't there a magic pill or spell that will stop this?! Daddy tries his best to give it his all but he mostly just wants Mom. I always try to feed the babies before he gets home from school, before he wakes up, and after he goes to bed. It doesn't always work out perfect though.
Mommy and Daddy made a big decsion to put Parker in school FIVE days a week instead of his normal three. This morning he started crying as Daddy came down the stairs saying, "NO NO NO!" He currently spends 2 days a week with his grandparents but I think he is having trouble with the back and forth. We are hoping if he goes to school 5 days a week it will help his transition move along a bit faster. I really feel that he thrives on structure and routine, school will provide this for him.
Since Daddy stayed home sick with Mommy, we took an adventure to Target and bought the big brother a gift. Here he is helping Daddy put it together.
