Protective Older Brother

This morning we saw my husband off to work as we do most mornings.  James and Sam raced out of the garage and to the driveway to wave goodbye and chase the car as Daddy drove off to work.  I always go out with the boys and make sure they are out of the way, so my husband doesn't have to worry about accidentally hitting one of our little ones.  Today James was taking Sam by the arm and carefully moving him to the other side of the driveway telling him they had to be careful so they didn't get hit by the car.  James then proceeded to hold Sam back, so he couldn't slip away and run behind the car anyway.  It was so sweet to see James taking such a protective stance for his younger brother.

Although James and Sam have their share of conflicts, you can tell James really does care for Sam and wants to protect him.  That, in my opinion, is a wonderful quality to have in a brother.  Hopefully it lasts into the future.
