This morning Nathan tried holding Simon. He was doing his best, but all the jiggling and moving Nathan was doing to compensate for the for heavy and wiggly Simon made the baby very angry. Simon started crying very hard. I ran to save him. Nathan was already on the verge of tears, "When he cries I want to cry," he choked out. I tried to make him feel better by helping him come up with a solution. I said, "Maybe we should nurse him." He answered quite honestly, "Well, I don't know how to nurse." Duh, Mom. Then he quickly changed the subject, "What if we had an alien family? Aliens do have blue eyes." What does one say to that?
