Ahhhh, so sweet. Well, unfortunately, it only appears that way. Cohen is having a REALLY hard time adjusting to Keegan being around. Some of the lovely things he has said about his new brother:
- “Mommy, I’m going to hit Keegan.” (Thankfully he only said he was going to and didn’t actually do it).
- “I want to take Keegan back to the hospital.”
- After repeated reminders to Cohen to cough into his elbow and not to cough on Keegan, he went right up to him, bent down and coughed right in his face.
- Cohen was asked to do something and he said “maybe when Keegan goes home.”
- “Hold me instead of Keegan.” In the process of lying Keegan down, Cohen says, “just throw him.”
- “I WON’T tell Keegan goodnight.”
Oh my!! I knew it was going to be an adjustment for him, but I had no idea it was going to be this rough. So, here’s to hoping it can only get better…

If it helps, I can tell you that Brandi was the very same way when we brought Jeremy home, and there are no words to describe how close they are now, 25 years later - not to say there won’t be a few rough moments through the years :-). Hang in there and just keep loving both of your beautiful boys.
