The kids had fun meeting the baby. Ben wasn't really very interested in sitting on the bed with me or holding the baby at first. Maddie was more interested in my bed and if I was going to fall off because it moved. Both of them did eventually want to hold the baby. We washed up all the little hands and both Ben and Maddie got a turn. When Ben finished after about 30 seconds, he simply dumped the baby off his lap onto the bed. We had to tell him to stop and we would help take the baby. Maddie was much more interested in the baby. She wanted to hold Jacob for a long time. She wanted to touch his eyes, his ears, his hair and pet him like a doggie. She stayed with the baby on her lap for a long, long time. She loved him.
We let Grandma hold the baby without supervision. She's a little more trustworthy than the little people and didn't try to throw the baby on the ground when she was done.
