Big brother

The other day when I asked Elliot if he was enjoying being a big brother he said to me, 'yeah mama, this is my second time.' Most days he says to me at least once, 'mama, isn't he great?'

This is one of the things I love about Elliot - his gentleness. Yes, he and Buggie fight and he can be rough when he's mad, but over all he's a gentle, sensitive little boy. And he LOVES babies, especially his new little brother. The other morning I found him in the living room, telling Ezra all of the things he is going to teach him how to do. It made me cry, and made me think about how much richer we will all be, and already are, because of this tiny little person.
