Brother & Sister

Zack is such a good big brother! I think it is amazing how a teeny little 2 month old baby can recognize her big brother and immediately be calmed because he is paying attention to her.  This morning Ruby was in the swing crying. Zack came from his bed and told me he was taking Zhu Zhu (one of his pets) to tell Ruby it was okay. I followed him into the family room and watched as he talked to her and told her she didn't need to cry. He adjusted the swing speed, at her request of course, and even put on some music for her. Then he noticed that one of her socks was missing and started looking for it. He found it and tried to put it on her. Then he told her if the swing went faster she would get bigger. (I didn't know that!) He also brought her some toys. He is now playing with his trains and she has fallen asleep, but he keeps getting up and going to check on her. Oh how I love this boy and his little sister! I'm sure this little man wont always be so loving and kind to his little sister, which is why I am blogging this moment and  can have proof that he does love her.

 Heck, anyone who has a little sister knows there is an amazing sense of accomplishment that comes from being able to torment and irritate even the cutest, nicest sister, especially if her name is Emily. I will shamelessly admit that I probably tease my sister more as an adult than I ever did growing up. You know I love you EM!
