How is Ptolemy doing with a new baby in the house? He thinks she is very amusing. I'm sure he doesn't realize how much he has been affected by sharing the spotlight with someone, but the rest of us notice. For example, Ptolemy has begun referring to himself in the third person. If he hears us discussing a plan, he'll say, "Ptolemy doesn't want to stay here. Ptolemy needs to go with you!" If we laugh at something funny he says, he chuckles, "Ptolemy was funny. He was like..." and then he repeats his joke. We all try not to gush too much over tiny Tizzy while Tolly is vying for our attention, but you never know when he's going to feel slighted. Yesterday I said to him, "Ptolemy, get me a diaper and we can change Tziporah."
He replied with a pout, "Ptolemy has a bum too!" Every part of Tolly's little body feels betrayed! He's a good sport, though, and I'm sure Tolly and Tizzy will be best friends someday...as soon as Tiz is big enough to understand how cool her big bro is.

What a great big brother your Tolly is! He looks so kind and gentle with his baby sister!
Oh what a dolly your Tizzy is! Her face is just like a China doll!
Hmmm...are those violin fingers I see on your sweet baby girl's hands? Hannah has beautiful long fingers and we've always called them 'piano fingers'
Family is precious!!!
Your pictures are beautiful! Glad Tolly is adjusting.
most of my kids took a while to adjust.
Love those pictures. Too cute
So glad you wrote this classic down! Tolly seems to really love his sister-to those of us on the outside. They are both so cute!
Such beautiful pictures!..I am sure Tolly wonders what it is all about...how precious he says he still needs help too!...but from his adoring looks he finds his little TZ beautiful and precious. What previous bonding pictures of all three of you. Love, Tricia
