Brotherly Love

After a busy weekend, being lazy and stayin in jammies sounded really good this mornin! I decided to load the kids up and drive to Mc Donalds for some really healthy breakfast ;) Well, I got down the street and realized I forgot my purse. I quickly turned around and Kyle began to cry. He was told where we were going and I threw him off by turning around to go back home!! He was quite upset!

Cody softly said to his older brother, "KYle it's ok, mom just forgot her purse. Don't cry." It was so sweet. I kinda got teary eyed. I immediately told Cody how nice he was and what a good brother he was being. I have had to explain to Code several times that Kyle's brain works differently than his and that Kyle doesn't always understand things. So Cody says back to me "Kyle's brain is different than mine, mom. Maybe I could give him some of my brain so he can talk and so he won't cry." What a great moment!

I started to think how lucky Cody is to have Kyle as a big brother. He teaches Cody so much. It's not like what most older brothers teach their younger brothers, it's so much more! :) I love my boys!

Sweet story! It's stories like those that get you through those really bad mommy days.
