I was going through some pictures tonight and was reminded of this sweet memory. The biggest surprise to us when we brought Abby home from the hospital was how enamored little Sam was with his sister. I did not expect a 20 month old boy to immediately be so in love with a baby. The excitement didn’t wear off either- there was never any jealousy from Sam! Frequently we would notice Sam was missing and would find him in our room, sitting next to Abby, softly repeating her name over and over. He was always very gentle and kind and loved to be close to her.
Fast forward almost 2 years! Sam is still an awesome big brother to Abby. They do have their moments, but you will often find Sam reading books to Abby, helping her climb up on a chair, or take the lids of the markers she wants to color with. They have special made up games they play together, and Sam can often translate “Abby-speak” when us parents can’t understand what she is saying! I am so thankful these 2 have each other.
