The girls are really excited to have him here. He chases them all over the house, he plays video games with them, he puts them on his back and does push ups...like I said, it's pretty great. We've made a few adjustments in our house. I spent last week cleaning out my "stash and dash" room and gathering some bedroom furniture (gotta love Craigslist). We also shortened the table and pulled it out so that we fit all around it.
A few days ago, while doing Miriam's hair, she asked if she could get big muscles in her arms. I explained that she could exercise and her muscles would get strong, but they wouldn't stick out really big. I said that boys and girls are made differently and girls' muscles don't stick out as much as boys'. She said she knew the difference between boys and girls and I asked what it was. She explained that boys like boy colors and girls like girl colors. And there it is folks: the difference between boys and girls.
Jokes aside, we have had some discussions about privacy rules, knocking on closed doors, closing the door when in the bathroom, and not running out of your room n@ked!!! It should be good for the girls to have a big-brother type around. He's old enough to tease them, but not torment them too much. He's really good with all of them. We're all really happy he's with us.

I'm so glad he is there and getting settled. I'm sure it will be a good arrangement. Your girls are so lucky to have a surrogate big brother too. :)
You kept talking about a "Ryan" and I knew I must have missed something so I had to backtrack to see what post I had missed. That is exciting and so great that he is so good with your girls :)
