Cole asked today for the 1st time to hold his brother.The twins are now 4 1/2 months old & this is thevery 1st time Cole has "held" one of his brothers.He's given LOTS & LOTS of hugs & kisses & touchings & pokings, but not any holdings till today.It kind of surprised me as it seemed random for him sincehe's never asked before, but I said, "ok, sit back & you can hold Merrill." (Since Grant was still sleeping) He was soo cute & LOVED it!
Merrill didn't seem to mind what was going on
since he sat there very well.
Cole was also cracking me up when he'd make a face
& say, "oh, sooo heavy!"
After a couple minutes I took Merrill off his lap &
Cole didn't want to be done.
He said, "No mommy, right here."(pointing to his lap)
As a mom of a very lively 2 1/2 yr. old, it was a very sweet
moment for me to see Coles excitement & tenderness
towards his little brother.
And daddy would be proud!
