Raising a kid is easy, but raising two is a different story.
Remember I shared with you chapter 1 of the story, where Baby Kay giving Jay a present a day few days before he was born. That went very well. The intentions is to make Jay Jay believes that those presents really was given by Baby Kay. (i.e. Baby Kay asked PaPa to go buy these presents for Jay)
Jay Jay now has this huge thinking that Baby Kay likes Jay Jay a lot, that is why Baby Kay gives Jay Jay so many presents. Now, this is Chapter 2 - Story of the 2 brothers.
We placed the Baby cot in Jay's room. We also have a portable day bed setup in the living room. We have informed Jay that Baby Kay is going to sleep together with him in his room. Jay was very happy. But during the first night, you can see a slight jealousy there. Jay was not happy that mommy spent a little bit too much time with Baby Kay. So, a bit of crying here and there on the first night. Well, this is expected and manageable. Jay comments that night was: "Baby Kay can sleep outside..."... hahaha.... naughty naughty...
The next day, we continue spent a lot of time in explaining the importance of taking care of Baby Kay to Jay. Jay understood a bit. And Mommy let him carry Baby Kay. A about to turn 3 years old carrying a baby... sounds very unreal. And this is where further bonding was established. This is the first time Jay carry and hold his little brother in his arms. So, we took that pictures of him holding the baby... that night, we have a more peaceful night, as Jay did not cry too many times... The next day, Jay commented "Jay Jay very good, never disturb mommy yesterday..."...
So, we decided to let him carry baby Jay as and when... and I think we have achieve our purpose. Jay now has a little bit improved thoughts and now, let mommy feed baby Kay as and when... and asked him to hold and carry baby Kay, he is more than willing to help out.
However, the time is still early... there are still many many years to go ahead... so, always keep in mind to always build the brothers bonding .... What we hope to see in future is, Jay Jay sharing toys with his brother, Jay Jay not fighting with Baby Kay over things... Let's see what is the next development in Chapter 3.
