Brooke has been a fantastic big sister to Alex.  She has made this transition to having another person in our house so much easier by helping Laura and me out.  She loves to give Alex kisses, play next to him, rock him gently, and help us by getting things from other rooms and changing him.  It’s been a great weekend.

On Friday, Laura and Alex got to come home.  Both have done great and were excited to be home again.  While in the hospital, AJ would go and help and visit every morning.  Brooke stayed home with her babysitter, Brittney, who did a fantastic job looking after Brooke.  They had fun making crafts that were pre-setup by Laura, going to the park, and opening a gift for Brooke, from Laura, each day that Laura was gone.  AJ would go and pick Brooke up after her afternoon nap and bring her to the hospital to visit with Laura and Alex.  She would bring her craft to show Mommy each night, and Laura would keep these hanging in her room; it certainly was the prettiest hospital room you ever did see.
