Luc warm

For months we had been wondering how Luc would react to the arrival of his little sister. Would he try to jump on her every time our backs were turned or would he immediately become the doting big brother. We bought storybooks whose central theme was the birth of the main protagonists sibling, we talked about her and even gave her a nickname. In the end, I would say that his reaction was initially one of denial and has progressed to what seems to be a growing interest in Scarlett (her almost constant comatose state notwithstanding). He has yet to accept offers to hold her but he does like to stay with us while she nurses and even asks where she is when I pick him up from school solo.

Scarlett's arrival has also affected him on a subconsious level. He is more weepy than usual and has taken to waking up at ridiculously early hours. Friends tell me that this is normal, it's just a passing phase and that all we can do is show him as much love and affection as possible. So far, seems to be working!
