The answer: Just fine. For the most part he is un-phased by the newest family member, but when he does notice Sam, he is very sweet and gentle. If Sam is crying, Jack comes over to make sure he is okay. If Sam is sleeping, Jack will draw attention to it and then say, "shhhh!". Before Jack goes to bed, he has always given everyone hugs and kisses and now that Sam is here, he insists on giving him a kiss, too.
We are trying hard to not put a lot of undue pressure on Jack just because he is the big kid in the house now. He still gets lots of attention from us and we have both taken Jack out one-on-one so that he can have some special time with each of us. He shouldn't be burdened just because he's not any only child anymore. We try to give him a lot of praise so that he won't seek attention in a negative way. So far-so good...but we still have a long road ahead of us.
