When Victoria first joined our family, Adam was jealous. Adam has always been a mama's boy. He's very affectionate and loves to cuddle, twirl my hair and sit on my lap. Victoria took his spot as the baby in the family but thankfully, Adam adjusted very quickly. He has accepted that my attention needs to be shared. Victoria on the other hand struggles with sharing my attention when I ask Adam to cuddle. She used to pinch and scratch him until he got off my lap. Even when I've tried cuddling them at the same time, she pushes Adam away. It always makes me laugh because I think it's so sweet how Victoria has held her own. She has her mama and she doesn't want to share. Adam is very patient with Victoria and she is slowly accepting that she too must share my attention. I'm not going anywhere and I have lots of cuddles to give. She no longer pinches Adam but she does weasel her way onto my lap when Adam or Isaiah are sitting there. It's pretty adorable.
Thankfully, Adam and Victoria have really bonded. I think her bond with her brothers has also helped her to feel more comfortable with sharing me. She loves them a lot and they adore her. Today when we had to leave Victoria behind with Nana to have a big boy adventure, Adam yelled out the window "bye Victoria, we'll miss you!"
