A doting big bro

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 1 May 2007 in People & Portraits.

Something I am really very thankful for,Caleb has been a very doting brother to Ian up till now.

I remember when i was in the hospital after Ian's delivery,Caleb went around putting his finger to his lips and telling everyone to "shhh",so that his little baby bro won't be disturbed,he also signalled me to sit down.

When we tell him to kiss or "sayang" didi,he obliges most of the time.Now he also likes to 'read' to ian and pat him on his chest when he cries.When Ian cries in another room,he would "mummy,didi kuku(cry)".

Of course he has his melt downs.He gets jealous of his brother sometimes.When i carry Ian and he wants to be carried,he would tell me to put Ian down so i can carry him.Now he is learning his bro to cry for our attention.In the car,he also insists i carry him and put didi in the car seat instead.

However,he is never aggressive to his brother,other than rare occasion of pulling his brother's hand away from me.

Well,let's keep our fingers crossed and hope they become best friends.:)
