Just when I think Tony could not be anymore adorable, he offers a helping hand with Enzo. He genuinely wants to help out as much as he can, even when we change his diaper.
Tony has a little Sesame Street stool that is for the bathroom so he can reach over the counter and wash his hands, but it has been relocated to Enzo’s room for the time being. Tony uses his stool to stand at the changing table and help mommy, daddy or anyone else who is changing Enzo.
On a lighter side, he likes to analyze what Enzo leaves in his diapers, commenting on the size of the presents left for those who change him. We definitely get a kick out of it and he knows we think its funny.
Tony has fed his little brother, sat in bed with him and held his hand, sang to him, rubbed his head and has even given Enzo his pacifier when it falls out.
The minute Enzo cries, no matter how loud or quiet it might be, Tony goes running to his little brother. He makes sure everyone knows what is going on by yelling, “Oh no, baby Enzo is crying. He’s crying.”
As much love as there was for our first-born son, Tony, there definitely is no lack of love with Enzo since Tony is around to provide a large chunk of it. He has been nothing short of fantastic with his little brother and we can only imagine it getting better from here.
Even though there isn’t much Tony can physically do to help us with Enzo, it is always best to let him know he is helping out. It helps to build his confidence and know that he is a major part of this family. Because, as we all know, first-born children can struggle with the introduction of a new sibling. So far, it is has been smooth sailing, but we are prepared for the low points too.
