While pregnant I always imagined that K would be a great big sister. She would be maternal and want to help and hold her little brother. She would ooh and aah over him and be a little mama. Surprisingly, that is not the case, and it is S that has come out to be the super big sibling. Not that K doesn't love Max, she does, she just doesn't seem to bother with him much.
Watching S interact with M is heart warming. Sometimes it's like I fall in love with S all over again when I watch him with M. S absolutely loves being a big brother. He helps with dressing, getting diapers, whenever M fusses he runs to find him a soother. While S is a little leery of holding Max, he loves to 'babysit' him while I do the dishes, cook dinner, etc. Another favorite of S's is to sit and sing lullaby's to M while I rock him to sleep at night. When we sing "Mama's going to buy you a ...." we always substitute S for mama.
S also loves to play with M and make him giggle. I'm not sure where S came up with it, but he shakes little M's belly while saying "Are you my little Co-co-nut?" over and over while M just giggles away. It's an amazing thing to watch.
S has truly surprised me in his new role. He has embraced better than I ever could imagine. S is an AWESOME big brother and Max is beyond lucky to have such an amazing guy in his life. I hope this bond continues through out childhood since they will be the only two 'men' in the house, they will definitely need each other.

That is sweet! Nice to see the brother bond so early.
It is awesome! I see it with my guys and they are 10 years apart. Brennyn is so bonded with Tylor. It is just amazing. For me, I only dread the day when Tylor leaves as I know it will break his little heart....But, it is just an awesome thing for them to have each other! :)
