Does he look likes he suffers from MCS? I've been anonymously (well, by dad) requested to put some more pictures of the "other kids" on this blog. Apparently I post too many of my "baby" so this is an attempt at levelling out things a bit (seriously, that's just not possible with more than one child - someone's always going to feel like he got the raw end of the deal).
Reece really didn't show any symptoms of MCS until he began feeling threatened by a moving Jackson. Trying to potty train didn't alleviate any of the symptoms either - we're putting that one on hold (though he showed some interest in it today - go figure!).
Other SYMPTOMS of MCS include, knocking your newly walking brother flat on his back, spitting on things, shooting your pretend guns at anything that upsets you, falling limp on the floor in a spastic attack, and throwing things at anyone/anything (to name a few).
The best proven treatment for MCS is lots of UNDIVIDED attention from either parent. We've been trying to make Reece feel special by letting him run errands with just one of us at a time.
Some positive side effects of this treatment include hugs, kisses, and loving comments :) Reece is definitely my "lover" with a heart of gold!
With three children, someone had to be the middle child. Reece holds a special place in my heart! I love you Reecey Allen :)

just to be clear..again....it was the lighting, the naughty little grin, and the spaceship jammies combination that prompted my previous comment...just sayin...and yes I realize that those are actually trucks now....or trucks disguised as spaceships...mmmhmmm...
