big brother


Alden has had his existence overturned with the addition of his new brother.   He has done an awesome job so far -- very gentle and affectionate with his brother, trying to help him when he cries, etc.  We've also seen a little flare of behavior to get more attention (as expected) -- throwing tortilla chips on the kitchen floor and stamping on them, for example, but this is pretty rare.  We even had this exchange in the bathtub that didnt make much sense but showed how much Soren is in his thoughts.

(talking about a video about a manatee rescue at Sea World . . )
Alden: ". . . and then the man, who had hair that wasn't like Soren's, saved the manatee."
Mom: "Oh.  Did he remind you of Soren?"
Alden: " . ..  well, he was really tall, like this tall [hands stretched high], and Soren isn't tall. . . well he was also a little like Soren although he saves manatees and Soren doesnt do that . .. "

Here's a video of his gentler side, navigating the territories of where its best to kiss his brother: Watch the video.
