That's Life

BROTHERS:

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. ~Marc Brown

These two boys are amazing.

Just because they are.

I know I am a bit partial, but they are both enamoured with each other. -N- is always happy to show -A- just how to play with toys, and well, -A- is always happy to learn.

-N- has proven over and over that he is a great BIG brother!

We are so proud of him, such a life changing event and he has accepted it so well.

When -A- arrived, -N- was so excited to be a big brother. His understanding of the whole event was that Mom went to the hospital with -A- in my tummy and when he and Dad came to pick me up, it was because the doctor gave me -A- to bring home with us. End of story. Makes sense, right?





Well after being home and making adjustments to our little family of four, it had been about a week when -N- simply proclaimed that he was READY to take -A- back to the hospital.



Once we explained that -A- was here to stay, and that he was going to be a brother forever, just like Mom and Dad would always be a Mom and Dad.


He accepted his fate and has been the BEST big brother ever since.



It takes two men to make one brother.
~Israel Zangwill

As for -A- he has filled the role of little brother quite well too. He knows just which toys are the best (the ones big brother has of course) and can't wait to crawl or walk, which ever comes first, just as long as he can keep up with his big brother.

That's really all that matters.

They love each other so much and it shows. -A- can often be found just watching that big brother of his, and even when no one's watching -N- can be found talking softly to his little brother saying things like "I love you my Bubba" with a great big smile on his face.

There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother.
