We've been talking a lot about Lola lately. This summer, Nana gave Maximo many "big brother" books and they are regularly making it into the nightly mix. He knows where baby Lola is and is using words like "little sister" and "baby", but really, he has no clue.
He was intrigued when John installed the baby hammock, and wanted to climb into it. Then he pulled some of the teeny diapers out of the diaper changer, so I figured, let's practice on his stuffed animal monkey. We talked about him helping change Lola's diaper and holding her (only when Mommy or Daddy is around!). He seemed to enjoy giving his monkey the attention at least for about 3 minutes - enough to put a diaper on him, swaddle him, rock him a bit, and then tuck him into bed and read to him.
We're really interested to see what Maximo is going to think of all this. I'm sure we'll have plenty of stories to tell.

Maybe I should try that with Kate as she really has no clue as well. She did point to my belly and said "baby". So we thought hey she is starting to get it, but a few seconds later she pointed to Rich's belly and said "baby"!
