Sweet big brother

I know I've said it before but Hunter really is such a sweet big brother! I love watching him interact with his little brothers. He has a way with them that surprises me all the time. Many times if one of them has something they should not (a choking hazard or an electronic device that I don't want them having) and I need to get it from them I will ask Hunter to ask them for it because 9 times out of 10 they willingly hand it over to him without a big fuss. That's usually not the case if I ask them to hand it over. Typically they will run in the opposite direction shaking their head back and forth and when I finally have to force it from their hand a big crying fit ensues.

A few nights ago Hunter was helping me put Brody and Ty to bed and as he was kissing them goodnight he told them in his little high-pitched voice he uses when he talks to them, "I love you even if you're crazy crying or not!" They weren't even crying. I think he was thinking back over the day at times when they do cry. And I'll admit that it's not a pleasant sound, especially when in stereo, but he is a true trooper and hardly ever complains about it. The only time it gets to him is when he is trying to hear the t.v. and can't because of some baby crisis that is interrupting his show.

Hunter is so sweet even to his unborn baby brother or sister. The other day he told me that I should wear a warm sweater "to keep the baby warm." We are so blessed!
