Watching My Boys Interact

Since bringing Boone home, Lincoln has been doing so wonderfully. We've quickly learned the word "gentle" and it's meaning. I couldn't be a prouder mommy of my BIG BOY!!! Lincoln has been so much more cuddly with me, always wanting to climb into my lap, spontaneously planting big wet ones on my face, arm, knee...where ever is closest. My favorite is when he says, "hug?" and lays his head on my shoulder for a few minutes of cuddling, meanwhile gently stroking my arm with his tiny little hand.

Last night as we were tidying up toys before bedtime, Lincoln stopped and crawled across the floor over to where Boone was laying out on his blanket. Without any prompting, Lincoln picked up Boones itty bitty hand and with a sweet soft voice, spoke, "hi, baby! how do doo?" What came next was even more precious. He ever so gently stroked Boone's hair, laid his face right next to his brothers and with there big blue eyes they just stared at each other. Lincoln laid his hand on Boone's naked tummy and kissed him on the forehead.




It was such an unexpected moment. My baby has grown so quickly and has the sweetest, most caring heart. There is so much purity and love with the way he treats his younger brother, it brought tears to my eyes. I wish I had my video camera available 24/7 to capture these moments and come back to them later, but I know I'll never forget that one.
