3.11.13 The Younger Older Sibling

Caleb, Aimee's brother, is 15 months old today. 

He is stunning us daily with his abilities and constantly entertaining us with his silly faces, 
singing, dancing, and conversation. We are so very thankful for him.

Caleb especially loves to cuddle with his sissy Aimee. 
Even though he is almost 3 years younger, he is already beginning to take on the role of 
older sibling toward Aimee. He is protective and wants to participate in her activities.
Seeing him love on her is a huge blessing!


He enjoys playing with her.


He loves to lay with her and read books. 


He tries to help with her routines. 
For example, throughout the day we stretch Aimee's legs, arms, and spine. He tries to help her do stretches and even makes the accompanying stretching noise we make. 


 

He gives her toys to play with and helps her play her 
vision app on the iPad. 

He is even learning to help guide her hand to do it herself.






He has begun to move her around the house like we do when we are moving to a different room. 
In these photos, he moved her from the kitchen to the doorway 
of our bedroom when he went there to play.


He has learned to unlock the wheels of her chair to push her across the room.


He even wants to hold her on his lap.

Although he is still learning that rough play isn't an option, we are so proud 
of Caleb as he is beginning to assume the role of older brother to his older sister.
