Big Brother

I just love this photo of Van. He's hardly a soccer player but he just looks so darn happy here. He's been holding it together so well in his new role as big brother. He LOVES the fact that Zak will do anything and everything that he does. He is constantly reminding us with "I bet if I eat my breakfast, put on my shoes, brush my teeth, keep my clothes on, (the list is endless) then Zak will do it too". But this week, he's had a couple tough days being the big kid. He is telling me he is sad cause he knows that mom and Zak are home without him while he's at school. It breaks my heart to hear but I am so glad he's willing to share his feelings. Here's his really great plan..."Zak should go to school every day and come to lunch bunch with me and you need to go back to work. That's what I want". A man with a plan...a boy after my own heart...a big brother with so much love.
