He really is trying.&#160; He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s watching and learning\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. maybe a bit too much.&#160; Caleb sees Mommy burping Caris.&#160; Caleb tries too\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 only Caleb can be a little rough with his burping technique.&#160; Caleb sees Mommy wiping Caris\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mouth after being nursed.&#160; Caleb goes up to Caris and tries to do this too.&#160; Oh dear.&#160; Caleb, your sister doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want her whole face covered with the spit cloth.&#160; Caleb sees Mommy rocking the car seat back and forth to settle Caris.&#160; Caleb tries to\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You can already picture it, right?&#160; So, yes\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 my helpful big boy scares this Mommy when he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s around baby Caris.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>We bought Caleb a baby doll.&#160; Someone gave us the idea that, if we could teach Caleb to be gentle with the doll, then he could be gentle with Caris.&#160; Not so.&#160; Then, we thought\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe Mommy could hand Caleb the doll when he gets jealous that Caris is nursing.&#160; So, instead of trying to pull Caris out of Mommy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arms, Caleb could hold a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baby&quot; of his own.&#160; That didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work either.&#160; Well, I guess Caris now has her first doll.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baby.chriswong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/img-3404.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_3404\" style=\"border-right: 0px;
