Big Brother 101

-Cael says 'night night' when he wants Aveyn to lay down so he can lay down next to her.
-When at a birthday party for some friends of his from daycare they wanted to see Aveyn in her car seat. When they got too close, Cael got upset and tried to hit them. -Not so much protective as he is possessive :)
-When we feed Aveyn we usually have a burp cloth over our shoulder. Every time Cael sees a burp cloth he picks it up and throws it over our shoulder for us.
-He understands that the little sleepers are for the 'baby' and when he helps with laundry will say 'baby' 'baby'.
-When Aveyn is crying, Cael will put his finger to his lips and say 'shhhh' because I say 'shhh' to him when we check on her and when I am trying to get her to take the pacifier.
-When he wants to hold her he will hold his arms out to the side.
-He likes to help burp her and will pat her on the back either simultaneously (hand on the back of your hand) or wants to do it all by himself (wants you to move your hand so he can do it).
-Before Cael goes to bed, his ritual now includes giving Aveyn a kiss good night (if she is up).
-He can't say Aveyn so he calls her 'Avi'.
-When I take him with me to check on her, he will say 'bye bye babies' in his best whisper when we are leaving the room.
-He also understands (for the most part) that we need him to be quiet when checking on Aveyn in her crib and so he whispers while he is in her room.
