Poor brother...

I feel so bad for Malachi right now. The first couple days after we got home from the hospital, every time someone would come over, he would act up. We think he thought he would have go with them and not stay with us like when we were in the hospital. After that got better, we started having bad days and parts of days. Crying and whining for hours, not eating meals, snuggling for very long stretches of time (not complaining about this at all...just not normal for him)...poor thing is just so out of sorts. At first, we thought he was still dealing with the remnants of his cold--buggery eyes and nose--so it was hard to tell how much was physically not feeling good and how much was emotionally not doing well. I know that this is normal and it will stop eventually, but it still makes me feel bad in the meantime. We have been trying to make sure to do fun things like going for walks, taking rides in the car and playing at the park or outside with the dogs during the nice weather (the above picture was from Monday) so he enjoys at least part of the day!! Pray for patience for all three of us and that things start to smooth out soon!

I will be praying!!! For us it was helpful to try and make them feel like the super helper that you could not live without...but we are girls and she was 3...he will adjust and they will be the best of friends in no time. :)
