Cole has seemed to have not skipped a beat since Delaney joined us at home. Franny has been very excited for her birth, but over the last nine months, it’s been much harder to gauge how much Cole understood. Franny, naturally, had a period of adjustment to the arrival of Cole when she was about the same age, which was very difficult to see her work through. A similar reaction with Cole was my one anxiety about Delaney’s arrival. But, so far, he seems to be as happy and well-adjusted as ever. He is very interested in her, likes to gives her kisses, and wants to know where she is and what she is doing. I wish I could see into the future and be able to take comfort in knowing that Cole and Delaney will have the same strong ties that he and Franny do. But, I guess that would take the joy out of seeing it all unfold.
