My
Gracie is 9 months old and has definitely ruled the roost. We brought little sis home almost 3 weeks ago. At first Gracie growled and wouldn't share her food, her toys, or her bed but I am pleased to say she is coming around nicely. They play and share toys and can BOTH sit on my lap at the same time now without Gracie growling.
Little sis didn't notice how rude Gracie was being but Mom sure did. I just made sure to give Gracie plenty of one on one time and praise. I did scold her when she was naughty with the baby. So happy that the transition has been so quick. We were hopeful since Gracie is only 9 months that they would be buds. Someone told me if they were several years apart the older would act like a mom rather than if they were close in age they would be like friends. That was part of our decision to add a second at this time. Yippee!! |
