My Big Brother Jack

Yesterday we went to the farm with our good friends the Grahams. Jack and his friend Josiah went over to play a ball game and Theo, Addie, and I stayed on the bouncy castle.

A big boy (he told us he was ten) came over and started to bounce on the bouncy castle with us. He was a sweet kid and interacted with Theo quite a bit. He was very physical and was able to jump super high as well as do somersaults. It was really cute because after he did each 'trick' Theo would say 'My brother, my big brother, he can do that' or 'Jack, my big brother, can do that too'. Just to be clear, Jack would not even be close to able to do any of the moves this ten-year-old was performing. BUT in Theo's mind he could, and Theo was super happy to brag on his brother, his 'BIG' brother!

I hope Theo always loves and respects his big brother, even when he is just as big and able to do the same (if not more!) physical stunts as Jack .

How sweet. Jack should appreciate his fan club.

That's wonderfully adorable. I can remember bragging on my older siblings the same way, must be a younger kid trait.

That's really sweet. I can just hear him the way you describe it. Before you know it Addie will be bragging on both her big brothers!
