Just like with our Zoom meeting with Jackson, I initially didn’t want to be holding Beckham when we returned from the hospital.
But Jackson was in bed napping when we got back, and by the time he woke up, I was curled up on the couch with the baby — I guess too tired to move. So Justin carried Jackson downstairs for the official brothers meeting.
Talk about a rude awakening! Jackson did not seem pleased. He refused to even look at me. He just wanted to sit with Justin and kept turning his head away from me — with the occasional dirty look at the baby.
I think it was just a bad combination of Jackson being sleepy and me holding Beckham. But thankfully he warmed up to both of us not long after. He opened up some special gifts that Beckham brought for him — I think that definitely helped!
Later he was happy to hold the baby and especially excited to put him in the swing. By the end of the night, he was already sharing Lamb and Soldier Teddy Bear!!
