Okay, so clearly I am not a brother, but we've been saying that sentence a lot at our house lately.
I have 3 sons... have I mentioned that?
I'm sure I have, they're pretty much my LIFE!
This year we have a little friend who hangs out with us in the morning and after school. It's going great.
The only hard thing has been my little Sheriff. That's what I lovingly call boy #3. He often feels left out or gets his feel goods hurt. And L, my #2 boy always always seems to be on the opposite side of the Sheriff.
We have talked about being kind and fair to all-- on all accounts. But I have to remind him,
YOU ARE A BROTHER FIRST.
And if the little Sheriff needs some encouragement or help, the big brother better be there to give it.
That's what brother's are for.
That's what sister's are for.
I thank my sweet mom and my dad and the good Lord every single day for my siblings.
And I want with all my heart to be for them
A SISTER FIRST.
I am so grateful my children have each other.
Believe me, the little princess is one lucky baby sister!
And I will do everything I can to teach and instill in those good boys to be
A BROTHER FIRST!
