Proud big brother

I really wish I had pictures to post, but I forgot my camera as I witnessed one of the sweetest moments between my children this morning. My kindergartener was the "star of the week," and was able to share anyone/anything today, so he decided to share his baby sister and brother :) He was beaming as he answered questions about Elizabeth. Elizabeth, being the ham she is, posed for the teacher's camera and smiled as the class sang her a song. Matthew proudly rose his hand, and shared that his sister is "allergic to eggs." Joseph dearly loves his siblings, and there is no greater gift for a parent than to know this. I takes me back to when Joseph was barely 2 years old sitting in the backseat of our tiny Honda Civic next to newborn Matthew in his carseat. His little voice exclaimed excitedly, "He likes me, Mom! He really likes me!" as Matthew grabbed onto Joseph's finger. The smile on Joseph's face said it all. He was and still is the most PROUD big brother I have ever witnessed.
