Yesterday at the pool Cole was giving Grace a horse ride and the two were giggling like mad. It was the coolest things to see Grace finding value and fun in her older brother.
It’s not typical. Grace always chooses Anna Mae for help and Truman to mother. They both would like an occasional break from baby sister duty. Every time I suggest, “Cole could help you with that..” Grace wiggles up her nose and refuses. She has been doing this since birth and I think Cole is just used to it.
Last week the two headed up to the lake for Grandma and Papa time and to see cousins in a musical. I noticed a change then – Grace asking Cole questions – trusting him – seeking him out – but it was not until yesterday that I really saw them having fun together.
Being the oldest and adoring my baby sister – it is one of my parent wishes that my kids love each other as much as we love each of them. I didn’t want that moment to go by and not be mindful of just how cool it was…

This touched my heart. I pray they will continue to develop and cherish that relationship. You know how much my big brother meant to me. I sadly never thought of what my life would be without him it. Thankfully God saw what was coming and worked his special magic, so that when the came select nothing was left unsaid. He was wonderful brother to me
