From an early age, the Beats have interacted. From sharing playmats to fighting for toys, their relationship as brother-sister is firmly established. A favorite game as of late is the sibling version of king-of-the-mountain, with them fighting for lap-space on mom.
Recently, though, I was informed by their teachers how protective She-Beat is of her brother. Follow bumps or crashes, where he calls out in pain or frustration, she is one of the first on the scene to comfort him and make sure he's okay. Even more interesting is to hear stories of her intervening when there are moments of conflict with other kids. The teachers laugh about her constant need to put herself in the middle, grumbling angrily at the offender in question and making it clear that no one gets to beat on him except for her.
Though 2 minutes younger and 3.5 lbs lighter, she is her brother's keeper.
That is absolutely adorable. Hopefully he's the same with her when she needs it, although it sounds like she's the boss!
ReplyDeleteThat gave me the goosebumps! How precious!
ReplyDeleteAwww!! I love this -- so cute. :) It will be interesting to see this play out over time.
ReplyDeleteSiblings are so precious that way. I can beat on my siblings all I want, but nobody else better dare mess with them!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet connection. It must be so great to witness!
ReplyDeleteAw that's so wonderful!
