It's a funny thing...Aidan & Gus are buds. Gus tolerates him in a way he would never tolerate another child, he is protective of him from even the biggest dogs at the dog park and Aidan prefers him over LoLa every time. Aidan is actually quite unkind to Lola. I think he is jealous of her because I spend more time with her on my lap and holding her then Gus. When we leave Aidan with a new(er) babysitter Gus will sleep outside of his room while Aidan sleeps until he has fully "accepted" the newbie. In many ways Gus still drives us crazy; he is almost five and still has tendencies of the puppy but we have profound moments of love and appreciation of him because we are perpetually shocked by how well he has adjusted to baby. I think as Aidan grows and understands the concept of gentle better these two will be close companions.
