Owen being big brother

At 4 years old, Owen is a better brother and friend than most adults. He loves Amelia so much he cried recently because he couldn't nurse her. Literal tears streamed down his face as asked me why she couldn't feed the baby his boobies. It was precious.

This year has been wonderful watching their relationship. Amelia thinks Owen is hilarious and he loves showing off for her! He wanted to play with at my mom's house so he brought his Christmas present Paw Patrol toys over to Amelia and laid them all out for her and then went to play his puzzle. It was so sweet that he went through the trouble and shared something he finds to be such a treasure with her.

The other night, we had the sister missionaries over for dinner and all of Amelia's sippy cups were in the dishwasher so she had a cup with a straw on the dinner table. When we weren't looking, Owen noticed that Amelia was thirsty and held the drink up for her so she could sip. He was so paitent with her as she drank from the cup. It was truly touching and unrehearsed and definitely not something we asked him to do. I am so proud of him and wanted to have in written down.
