The Big Brother

Austin had an impromptu mommy/daddy date this afternoon. Naturally Lucy was there. But Austin wouldn't have it any other way. The main point of this post is to convey, record, and illustrate what a fabulous BIG BROTHER Austin is.

He totally, completely and utterly adores Lucy. He is enamored with her. I remember he was the same way with Rooster. He would come home from kindergarten and the first thing out of his mouth would be, "Where's Rooster? How is she doing?" The first time school mom in me was starved for attention from him and couldn't believe he didn't want to shower me with hugs and kisses. ;)

He is always holding her.


He is the quickest to run to her aid.
He will help with whatever task I need done if it involves Lucy in any way.
He loves the way she smells.
He gives me play-by-play updates of every facial expression she makes.


His Lucy radar is definitely tuned in.

As you can see we are ALL quite smitten with this little sweetheart.


But Austin is sensitive to her needs and takes his Big Brother responsibility very seriously. He does an amazing job.

This is an important thing for me to remember when he instigates, creates uBer extreme silliness, seeks mischief, and runs amok. We all have strengths {and weaknesses.} Being a super Big Brother is definitely one of Austin's.
