Not in an entirely practical sense of course, G can&amp;#39;t exactly babysit E, or put him to bed.  But, they will really start to entertain each other, developing an interest in the other that supercedes their respective interest in even you!  I find it gives me a surprising break sometimes - I can fall into the background a little bit, not be as important, even leave the room for 2 minutes to pee and know that they have each other.  They won&amp;#39;t be alone.  This is the power of sibling-hood.  I think this effect will only increase over time.  But of course, I don&amp;#39;t have much personal experience with siblinghood - this is just my 6mths and counting observation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know the protocol on these things, but I love you and love reading your blog!
