Everyone said Zion would be so jealous, blah, blah, blah. Quite the contrary, he absolutely delights in being a big brother. He has had his moments when he tires of all of the attention that Ayinde receives, but he is able to articulate his feelings. On a recent trip to see my mother-in-law he requested the following: "Mom, can you let me walk in the door first so grandma can give me attention first. Because if you go in first with Ayinde, he'll get all of the attention and everyone will forget about me." Wow, I thought. He's really in touch with his feelings. Eric and I chuckled, but we did honor his request. The majority of the time, Zion is Ayinde's biggest advocate. If I take too long responding to his cries he asks, "mom, don't you hear Ayinde?" Zion is definitely his brother's keeper.
