My Brother’s Keeper

The kids have definitely been enjoying all the extra space in their new, big room. There’s more than a 5′ x 10′ area with nothing there, so Evan has been crawling all over and Andy and Brady have been, of course, playing baseball in their room! And in the past two days, Connor has figured out how to climb out of his crib. I’d say my life is over now, but since we plan to move him to a “big boy bed” very, very soon, it’s not really a big deal.

Last night I was in the kids’ room talking to them before bed time. I started to leave and Andy asked that I shut off the little light that has served as their ward-off-all-things-scary-like-evil-baseball-team-mascots-and-scary-clowns nightlight for more than a year. I was amazed. I asked, “You won’t be scared?”

Andy replied, “No, Mommy. We’ve got Brady — the bravest boy in the world!”

Brady immediately sat up in the top bunk and argued, “But I don’t want the light off!!” :D

    Yeah! Those are my nephews! Love them to death. Tell them their Auntie Heather could use that nightlight! I have never liked the dark, but I also know Jesus takes care of me, so I imagine He’s got their bedroom covered, too.

    Hugs to all.

    TOO FUNNY! That actually sounds like a conversation Nate and I might have had one time. Nate was always the daring, brave one, and I would follow–hey if he didn’t get hurt, neither could I!
