love for "the brothers"
















Kid4 lovingly describes her brothers as “The brothers”. She always says things like “Don’t forget to pick up the brothers “and “can I wake up the brothers?” she will say “where are the brothers” or “when are the brothers getting home from school”.

“The brothers” (kid1 and kid3) adore Kid4. They will do anything she requests. I often watch her ask either one of them to take her to the park and they almost always do. One of “the brothers” will be sitting there with her watching her like a hawk. She will asks one of “the brothers” to play baby with her which consists of her making one of them lay on the floor, covering them with a blanket and shoving a paci in their mouth.

I am always proud and over come with love for “the brothers” when I see them playing so patiently with kid4 because I think it shows a lot of character on their parts to be so easy going, and let her use her imagination at their expense.

Often she gives us names like “Mama Goose, baby goose, Daddy goose” etc. this morning she said she wanted to be cats. She mentioned how we would be “Mama Kitty, Daddy kitty, baby kitty” and……. Drum roll please…….. “Brothers kitty”. Are you surprised? All of that lead me to this post and the pictures of her special wonderful brothers who adore her every move. One day she will know how lucky she is to have them and I hope she will read this!

That's sweet:) And funny because London also likes us to be animals. The other day we walked in the woods near our house and she was pretending to be a racoon. Of course, I was Mama Racoon, and have been all week:)
