Big Brother

Ever since Ella was a baby, Colin has used the exact same routine every time she gets hurt. It goes like this--
Step 1. "Ella, are you okay?"
Step 2. Run and get one of his OWN stuffed animals (that normally he won't let her touch)
Step 3. Perform slapstick comedy to make her laugh.

Works everytime. And now she expects it. lol

Today she fell off the arm of the couch (Gee, wonder why we have the rule, no sitting on the arm of the couch??) and as I was comforting her, he ran away and she looked up at me and said "He's bringing me a stuffed animal" lol

I turned to Brook and said "Do you think this will continue her whole life? When she's in the hospital having her first baby, will he bring her a stuffed animal" and while Brook and I both pondered that and got choked up, the two kids said "Yes".

I hope so.

Although, what I REALLY want to see is him, at age 30, 35, or whatever, falling down on the hospital floor, just to make her laugh.
