All the kids

First thing every morning, we all hang out for a while and "catch up". N always tries to play with Georgia, and she usually tolerates it for about five minutes before jumping off the bed completely annoyed.

This morning was particularly funny and notable because Georgia seemed to have turned a corner in letting N play with her. For the longest time she has been indifferent and disinterested in being N's best pal. Maybe he's finally starting to grow on her, or maybe she realizes she better adapt soon or else she'll be spending most of her days without much attention. She's always been -- and still is -- our baby, but there is an inevitable shift of attention when babies come along.

What's the best way to make sure everyone gets along? We gave Georgia hospital blankets the boys had used in hopes that she become familiar with their scents before bringing them home. That seemed to work ok, but it's not like she was jumping for joy when they came through the door. Sometimes Boogie will chase her around the house -- his new favorite mode of transportation is walking -- and she'll get all wound up to where I can't tell if she's excited to play or about to bite our heads off. She's been a real trooper since day 1. I just always supervise them together just in case one of them gets too rowdy.

So how do you bring your pets and babies into a loving relationship together??
