Big brother love

Ethan is such a care-taker for his little bro.  Examples:

  • Tonight when a visitor was trying to comfort Sam, he told her, "You should pat his tummy and tell him "shush" in his ear.  But he might need some boob."
  • He picked up the camera today and said, "I'd like to take a picture of cute little Sammy."
  • Sam was screaming a few days ago and I was ignoring him for a moment to help Ethan get dressed.  We were clearly all stressed by the screaming and Ethan said, "Just take care of Sammy first!"
  • Every morning Ethan rushes in (when the sheep clock wakes up) and immediately insists on climbing into bed with us and Sam and cuddling his little bro.  He wraps his arms around the little nut and covers him in kisses and squishes his cheeks (often too vigorously) and tries to hoist Sam right onto his own toddler belly.  It is so, so sweet.
