Today Spencer fed his baby brother his first bottle. He was a little shaky at first and kept moving the nipple around but eventually got the hang of it. He must have been doing something right because Nico finished the entire bottle.
It's great to see Spencer's genuine enthusiasm for taking care of Nico. Like many three-year-olds, he often wants to do much more than he can handle. The prospect of a one-month old being diapered by a three-year old has great comic potential but some real practical problems. So although Spencer won't be putting on a diaper any time soon, we're trying to keep him involved in taking care of his brother as much as we can.
