Lately I have been noticing some instances when Elizabeth is being a great big sister to her brother. Typically they play pretty well together, they sometimes spat over a toy or something, but for the most part they get along fine. But then there are times when Elizabeth really seems nurturing and caring towards her brother and I jotted them down the other day, to write in her journal so she remembers how good she is to her brother. I'll have to make her read it when she hates her brother when she's a teenager and he won't leave her alone :)- She's very protective of Ben - if he is doing something unsafe - she's right there guiding him back, yelling for me to come get him. We were at a park the other day that has a lake and when Ben started to wonder too close Elizabeth ran right up, grabbed him, and held him back until I could get there.
- At the park she'll follow him to the top slide and make sure he goes down it safely, not getting near the edge where you can fall.
-She helps him climb into his car seat and buckles the top buckle for him,
- When he climbs into his booster seat she stands behind him to make sure he doesn't fall out and then goes and gets his bib and puts it on him.
-She follows Ben to the bathroom and helps him wash his hands, she gets soap for him, then tells him how long to scrub, and makes sure he doesn't fall when he's on the step.
- We have leap pad book that's interactive. The other day I walked into the room and she was holding his hands, helping him push the correct buttons.
These are a few examples over the past week of my sweet girl - she's such a mommy isn't she?!
