Big Brothers are Good For…

Many things…

Trimming finger nails…she will not let anyone else do it. lol

Creating dangerous, but fun obstacle courses from the safe toys.

Finding the lost litter of kittens.

Reading to their baby sister.

And then, sometimes, they are really good for nothin…

like when they hose down their little brother, then turn the hose on mom

or

They tell scary storm stories right before bed while it is storming.

or

They decide to make a cake at 3 am without a recipe…

But, overall, big brothers are well worth it…

Notice the huge toad in the youngest hands? Yep, big brothers are great at catching critters for their little brothers.

Really though, I have to say, I wish I would have had a big brother…

    How sweet. Great post. I have 2 girls and 6 boys. I love catching those little moments of sweetness when the boys do something with/for the girls.

    Awww…this is so sweet. What great memories they are making together. I had 2 older brothers and one younger. The only thing I remember growing up with them is getting beat up :0

    Our littlest brother is froggy over toads. lol So, to get the pic of little man on the tree stump with a smile on his face, Big Brother found him a toad to hold. ;)

    I agree! Big brothers are the best! I had 3 of them and wouldn’t trade them for the world. They had their fun moments, scary moments and of course no boy is going to call my sister a bad name moments.

    This post sure made me chuckle. My oldest is a boy and this sure could have been written about him!
