The buddies

BL and Si are buddies.  They spend a lot of time together because Si only goes to a few hours of pre-K so the three of us tool around together much of the time.  Though he's only five he knows how to make the baby happy in the car and wherever she is.  He's the first line of relief for whatever his baby needs.

Always beaming over her shoulder.

Always getting in her space, making sure she's entertained.

 Snuggling her and talking to her all day.

 Sharing his germy germs.

Keeps an arm under her making sure she doesn't tip over.

Protecting her from all the other kids and making sure she has fun.

And most recently snuggling LouLou in her crib whenever he can sneak in there.

There is little more rewarding than your children treating each other with loving concern.  I think the bond they're creating while they're little will serve them well when Silas is a senior in high school looking out for his little sister.
