Looking after himself

James will certainly grow up knowing how look after himself after sharing a house with Harry.

On the whole, Harry is quite good with James and generally doesn't do anything too cruel.

However, he can be a little heavy-handed so what should be a gentle stroke of the arm can suddenly turn into something altogether more, well, violent.

Harry is also fascinated with James' hair. Now James, like Harry, takes after me and isn't blessed with a lot of hair. However, the bit he does have tends to stick up like some kind of whispy mohican. This is just too tempting for Harry, who tries to grab it at every opportunity.

On top of this, Harry has taken to shouting or singing as loudly as he can whenever James is sleeping. This is very frustrating when you've just spent an hour trying to get James to settle.

Harry knows exactly what he is doing. Sometimes he will walk into a room and shout 'bang' just to wake James up.

But while looking after James and Harry can sometimes feel a bit like being a referee, it's not all bad. In fact, watching James smile and wave his arms and feet frantically when he spots Harry is wonderful.

Equally, listening to Harry call James 'darling' makes you want to scoop him up and cuddle him.

Having grown up with a younger brother (not to mention an older and a younger sister) I can confidently predict that James' reaction to Harry will not always be so positive.
