A VERY RESPONSIBLE BIG BROTHER
June 23rd - June 26th, 2008

On Monday, June 23rd, Dad Higginson stopped by to pick up Vaughn so he could spend some time with Mom and Dad that day. Vaughn convinced Dad that before he left, he needed to play a quick game of Dominoes!

I wound up going with Vaughn, and actually staying over at Brian's parents' house for several days because Dean was struggling with some eating and sleeping problems, and was up every hour at night. Brian's mother would watch the kids while I took a nap, and it really helped! So here's Vaughn a few days into our stay, concentrating very hard while he held Dean all by himself!

He did eventually let himself crack a small smile!

Here's Vaughn a few days after that. He saw Dean's binkie fall out....

...then he went to find it....

Once he found the binkie, he tried to find Dean's mouth.

And of course, Dean tried to block the incoming binkie!

But Vaughn won out....

...and Dean accepted the help.

And Vaughn was very proud of himself!

And he kept checking to make sure that darn binkie stayed in!

Love, Lisa
