Big Brother Moments

So, it has been all about Declan for the last three years and Steve and I were curious how he would react to handling having to share the spotlight. Below are some moments we have experienced with Declan so far. As you will see we are blown away by how he is handling things and attaching to Lochlan.

1. Lochlan was crying because he was having trouble eating and was all worked up. Declan came in touched Lochlan's head and said,"it's okay Lochlan, it'll be okay". Lochlan stopped crying and we praised Declan for being such a good helper and he said touching his heart, "My hearts so big, my heart got bigger"

2. Lochlan is just staring at Declan and Steve and I said, "look your brother is watching you". Declan got close to Lochlan and said, "Ahh, I love Lochlan".

3. On several occasions (a couple after he was supposed to already be in bed) Declan has come running in when Lochlan is crying to check on him and find out what happened. It blows us away because he is genuinely concerned and wants to help if he can. He will ask Lochlan whats wrong and then pet or kiss his head or just talk to him calmly telling him it will be okay.

4. In the above pictures we let Declan (with support) hold Lochlan for the first time. You can tell how proud he was. After holding Lochlan Steve and I said, "wow, you held your brother". Declan responded by striking a muscle man pose and stating,"I am so strong I can hold my brother. He is little but I am strong"
