Embracing his role...

Big Brother and Little Brother

My typically "too busy to smile for the camera" son....

asked me to take pictures of him with Rhett.

I am amazed how he has embraced being a big brother to Rhett.

With Russell he was too young to understand.

I think because they are so close in age he perceives Russell more as a peer.

With Rhett he knows he is bigger.

Honestly I am surprised how much I trust him with Rhett.

He is gentle, and he has never hurt him.

I often find him talking to him,

and showing him toys.

He tells me "go away mommy I am talking to Rhett".

How he interacts with him was not something I expected, but

its really cool.
