Adam is very
protective of his brothers. He is his little brother’s keeper for sure but he
is also in the business of protecting his older brother from any consequences
he might incur from mom and dad. I was scolding Alex one evening for hurting
one of his brothers. We talked at length about how we take care of those
smaller than us and we behave a certain way. In the meantime Adam walks over to
us, he is maybe two at this stage, looks me in the eye, takes Alex by his
wrists and, without breaking eye contact with me, walks away with his older
brother. I learned that Adam was not down with me being mean to his brothers
and he was going to step in. That still happens anytime Alex is in trouble for
something and Adam is around to stop it. I’ve let it go because I think it’s a
good lesson for my older son to learn; no matter what you do, your brothers
will love and take care of you so make sure you do the same for them. A lot of
adoration there.
