The Big Brother

Tate has been so funny lately. he loves his baby sister and tries so hard to help out. As soon as Addie starts to cry Tate yells, "baby crying", and he is the first to her rescue. He also is so worried that she always has her "Stinky", or that's what he calls her Binky. He is always asking, "Where is stinky"?
Tate also has been fascinated with how baby eats. He will try to tell me he is hungry and try to open up my shirt. I try to explain to him that only baby eats from mommy, but he always thinks I might eventually change my mind. I haven't, sorry Tate! The other day Tate took one of his toy trains and lifted up his shirt, pressed the train to his chest and said, "Look mommy choo choo train eat!".
Off the baby subject Tate is also learning how to get out of eating the food he hates. Just this last week he kept telling me he was done eating, yet he hadn't eatin any of his chicken. I told him he needed to eat his chicken, so he took his water and poured it all over his food, and said he couldn't. We made him eat his watery chicken anyway. Then when he thought he was being sneaky, the next day he tried to dump his food in the garbage with out me seeing and put it back on the table. Then said, "All done".
As much of a challenge that Tate can be he is so funny and I can't help but laugh at him. We love our Tate!
