I think that Alice is going to grow up as a little princess. The boys have really warmed to her. As noted, Corwin has requested to hold Alice. Charles is starting to do that as well (if Corwin does it, it must be cool, right?). Mom let him hold Alice, although she had to help out by holding Alice’s head.
Charles is also fascinated about changing Alice’s diaper. He sometimes asks if her diaper needs changed, and follows Mom upstairs to the changing table so that he can throw away the soiled diaper. It’s typical Charles - odd and sweet at the same time.
