When the new baby comes home, Tom is NOT impressed. Baby Florence is a 'podge' and Tom is much more interested in being an astronaut than a big brother. He does NOT want to help and he does NOT want to pass the bottom wipes - sometimes he even calls her 'poopoohead', though not out loud of course! But babies have a way of winning you over and, before long, even Tom comes to love that smile. Maybe being a big brother isn't so bad after all!
