Brotherly Love
I couldn't resist sharing this sweet photo below and the story behind it .
As mentioned in the previous post, little Vivian was a pretty sick little girl last week.
The other night big brother Ben called out to me after bedtime. "Mama, Mama!"
I thought he wanted a drink of water or the light on.
But instead, he said. "Mama, I want Vivian to sleep with my dinosaur tonight . He will protect her and make her feel better."
My heart melted a bit. "Of course."
I think the dose of a plush and furry T. Rex along with brotherly love worked. She's feeling much better.
What a lucky little girl to have a big brother who looks out for her so.
