Beck and Ember


Here's Beck feeding Ember. I think his fondness for her is so sweet. He's always got his eye out for her, gently takes away inappropriate toys (or his toys!) and gives her a basket of baby toys instead. He asks to feed her, to push her stroller, to have her in his bed. I wonder what it is about this kind of sibling relationship where the oldest is especially close to the youngest. I had this kind of closeness with my oldest sister too.

That is really cute! Hi I am Margi's friend Lily, I was over that one time when you came over to Margret's house.

less competition. the oldest is secure in their place as oldest and the youngest is too young to be a challenge to them. then you have the middle child who isn't either the youngest or the oldest so he is always struggling for his place - that's the theory anyway. beck has such a sweet soul. yogi is feisty and it's hard to imagine him any other way and ember is just the happiest baby i've ever met.
