from the mom
It is completely true that the younger ones don't know how to be an only child. Kyrie is missing Ben. She has been crying for him, making grumpy faces in the mirror (with her lower lip protuding and all) and generally making it impossible for me to do all the things I planned to catch up on while Ben was at my parents. I've fed her, changed her, burped her, and put her down for naps and she is now having a running monologue, complete with emphatic arm gestures. The walker, jumper, and swing aren't good enough, her toys are boring, and there is no way she is going in for "tummy time." She's "talked" to Ben on the phone a few times and they both enjoy this a lot. I'm told Ben kissed her picture on the computer yesterday.
I don't think my brother was ever so attached, but hey, at least my kids love each other.
