My Big Helper

Everyone always asks how Drew is doing being the big brother to three babies, and I always say the same thing. He's really doing great. He loves to entertain them and make them laugh and he's my biggest helper. He gets burp cloths, he brings me bibs, he gets them laughing when they're crying, and more. He's the best big brother.

Here's the cutest story behind the picture of Drew, Emily, and his beloved diamond blanket. Drew has had that blanket since he was a baby and he loves it. Up until just recently he couldn't sleep or nap without it and he liked to have it around most of the time. It is simply called "diamond blanket" and it's very special.

So, when Emily was laying on the floor on her Boppy he went over to her and said, "she must be cold down there". Then he went and covered her with his sacred diamond blanket. I was very moved by this gesture, and said, "Drew, that was so sweet of you to share your diamond blanket with Emily." And he layed down next to her and put his hand on her chest, patted her and said, "I love my Emily."

I said, "If she could talk, she would say she loves you too."

He said, "If she puts her hand on her head or on her mouth, that means she loves me."

Well, Emily very often puts her hand to her head or mouth and right on cue, she did it then.

And he said, "Awww, she did it! She loves me!"

And then, "Thank you for loving me, Emily."

I love that kid!!!

And I have to add, he also dusts, vacuums, mops, and sorts laundry too!!!
