Noah is a great big brother
Apr 8, 2008 Parenting
They just got back from the mommy & me gym class and Madison felt too shy to play so Noah said he’d do it with her. (Apparently it’s NOT mommy & me — it’s mommy drink coffee from the sidelines while the preschoolers run and jump.) So there’s five little kids and Noah, gamely going along with it — marching in the “parade,” doing fingerplays, leading his sister on the balance beam.
At least in this family? This seven year age span has been a Very Good Thing. As big brothers go, Madison got a keeper!

Adorable. Not at all surprising, either. He is definitely a sweetheart.

That is cool.
If we do have another one we’ll have (at least) a 7 year gap between the first and last, and I’m looking forward to it.

that’s so awesome. i feel like (given that i knew i wasn’t up for parenting kids who would be peers) the bigger the age gap, the more potential opportunity for things like that. but it also takes a special older brother, which noah clearly is..

You seem to have two lovely kids. Enjoy them while you can. They grow up way too soon. My two have left the house already and it can be very lonely sometimes! I miss the laughter and sillyness.

That’s lovely. It’s really great to see that he’s so caring with her.
