Big Brother Protection


Gregory is our very sweet hearted child. He has another side to him as well that we won't mention for now. But when it comes to his family he loves us all dearly. In fact the following is a dialog between him and Eric.
Greg: Eric
Eric: What
Greg: I love you!
Eric: Oh yeah. I love you too.
Greg: You know what?
Eric: What
Greg: I love everyone in our family. Dad, mom, you and Audrey. I just love all you.
Eric: That's good.
It was funny to listen to then here comes Gregory to me.
Greg: Mom
Mom: Yes Greg
Greg: I love you!
Mom: I love you too
Greg: I love everyone in our family. I just love all you.
His heart must have been bursting with love! So, Audrey is our girly girl. It is all about frills and pretty to her. Until her brothers want her to play with them. She can be really tough when the situation calls for it. Eric had wanted Greg to play football with him but Greg didn't want to. So Eric was content to ask Audrey to play. Her response was yeah sure! Greg immediately interjected, "Eric, be easy on her!"
Eric: I will!
The football started and Eric made the play go in his favor even though he really did nothing. Gregory immediately came and tackled Eric to the ground and said, "You were supposed to be easy on her!" I then had to jump in and resolve the issue. I reminded Greg that we don't settle things that way. I also praised him for looking out for his sister. It sort of melted my heart to see his protetiveness for his sister come out. Even though my kids may fight and argue I know there is a great deal of love for each other. When it matters they show it.
