Brotherly Love

This post is about how Joseph shows love to his sister.

Here's a video of Joseph holding his sister during her first week home:



I especially appreciate how "helping her" morphs into "helping her hit herself" as warning voices and rescuing hands coming flying in from all directions.

Sometimes his love is just too intense for a tiny newborn. Here's Joseph giving his sister a hug:

Notice the bulging eyeball?

Fortunately Joseph noticed that too:


So he pushed it back into place.



Caring=Sharing

Joseph is really good at sharing with anyone who lets him take stuff away without a fight, and Audrey is no exception to this rule.

Pretty much daily, we come across scenes like the following:

Audrey & Bulldozer


Audrey & Snakes & Lizards (& Diapers)

(And, yes, we've had many talks about how we never put things on baby Audrey's face)


Audrey & Aquatic Life

note to readers:

(1) the eye bulge just *appears* to be an eye bulge. audrey's eye was not actually popping out due to the force of joseph's hug.

(2) yes, joseph himself placed that cell phone in position at audrey's ear. better yet, everytime she moved, the phone called minnie mouse (though joseph insisted audrey was talking to grandma white).

What a thoughtful big brother! How do younger siblings survive all that tender loving care?
