Practicing for Baby Brother

Tallis is ready for a companion - he's been practicing his brother skills with Winnie the Pooh for a few months now. I find it to be absolutely endearing the way he has started treating Winnie like a real person. He likes to put newborn-sized shirts and socks on Winnie, diaper him, read him stories, feed him, suck the snot out of his nose with the bulb syringe (!), bathe him (by throwing him in the tub before the water drains out - with subsequent anger that Winnie has to go in the dryer! aauugghh!), and include him in all of his activities. He's been a real sweetie and we hope his Winnie treatment rubs off on Rhys.
