B was so used to being the littlest and so when nephew came along (he is just turned 3 so 2 years between them) it threw him. First he just ignored him, wasn't interested in the newborn stage at all, didn't even acknowledge him, then used to hide from him when he was noisy and now nephew is desperate to play with him but B is still having trouble adjusting to having another small person he has to, on occasion, share the families attention with. In some ways I'm very glad B is our youngest! Can't wait to see the drawings :) I think its really hard for cousins of a similar age.
