What does Samuel think?

Samuel thinks Dixon is pretty darn cool, especially when he screams. That, my friends, is giggle-worthy material in Samuel's book. That's diaper-changing screams or FEED ME screams, mind you. Samuel doesn't go out of his way to make the baby cry.

Not yet, anyway.

No, he likes his baby brother quite a bit. He likes to touch Dixon's hair, lean in for kisses and pull off Dixon's socks. He likes to push Dixon in his car seat swing, too. Today, he tried to shake Dixon's hand in that "pleased to meet you" gesture my parents taught him.

I think they're going to get along just fine.
