Josiah, the Big Brother


My Josiah has such a tender heart. He always has, and I pray that he always will. On Sunday morning, his first Sunday School class teacher lets them choose from a treasure box if they bring back their "homework" completed. Well, everybody knows how much Josiah LOVES school, so every week he dutifully does his homework and brings back his notebook to choose a treasure. In the past, he's chosen some balls, or Spiderman cards, or something along those lines. Well, this last week he came home with some little monkey & elephant barrettes. He said they were for Callie for when she gets a little bigger and has more hair. He said "won't she look so cute Mom? She's just going to love them!" I love this boy!

Aww! too sweet of him to think of his baby sister:) I think I have seen the most tender sides of Jake through his interactions with Sadie...(I've also seen some of the darkest sides, but at least the tender ones outweigh the darker:) Big brothers definitely have a soft spot for their little sisters:)

What a sweet thing to do! And don't you love that no one talked him into doing that!

What a sweetie!! I love having a big brother for a little sister and to see how endearing and sensitive they are with them.

That is SOOOO sweet!!! I agree with Jayne, too--it means so much more that that sweet little man thought of it all himself!!!
