Nicolae (and Oliver)

Nicolae is such a helper. He loves to be involved and learn new things but is SO sensitive. I have a hard time correcting him without breaking his spirit. Sometimes I feel like a good talk works wonders with him, then the next second I'm just sure he's an amazing manipulator. He loves his new brother a little too much. He always wants to hold him, bring me his pacifier/diaper, sing to him when he cries and rock him. I've had to tell him multiple times he cannot hold Oliver alone, but alas, as I was cleaning up Gabriel from breakfast, I suddenly heard Oliver in the living room when I knew I'd left him in my bed. I ran out to see Nicolae carrying him with his arms, one around Oliver's head and the other around his armpit. I gasped/screamed and Nicolae dropped him. It had to be the scariest mom moment so far. Needless to say, Oliver is pretty sturdy and Nicolae and I had a nice talk. I don't know what's going on with him lately though as he's been peeing on himself during the day and acting out pretty badly some days.
