A Brother's Love

After tucking the kids into bed last night, Ellie got sick. Again.

Before I could run up the stairs to help, Ben (usually her nemesis) got to her first. When I got to the bathroom, he was there. Standing behind her. Holding her hair in a ponytail to keep it out of her face. Saying, "It's okay. You're okay. Don't fight it."

They DO love each other!
Yippee!

They might fight a lot,
but they love each other too!

They are beautiful!! Your daughter is so cute, I have a six year old boy Karen that is very handsome, you never know they could always meet up in College!!! I love how he held her hair in a pony tail to help her! Just precious!!

Awe...isn't that the sweetest thing ever? What a great big brother...I think the only time my brothers held my hair was to pull it out.

Sharon,
He does that too. Though I have seen him help her get her bows in and other nice brotherly things from time to time.

When I threw up, my brothers just ignored me... or said, "Mom, she's throwing up." We're friends now though!

That is so sweet! I remember so many times when my sisters did similar things. No matter how much I used to get on their nerves, that sisterly bond was deeper. Genuine love always wins in the important stuff. :-)

I am always so encouraged by your children!
