Brotherly Love

When I sit back and watch Daniel interact with Eliza I am amazed at how much he loves her and cares for her. He takes great delight in her giggling at things he does, at touching his hair when he gives her a hug, at talking to him, at playing with her. They both smile so much when the other one is around. It is a very special bond and one that I hope continues to grow as they grow up.

One afternoon while I was doing the washing up, Eliza was sitting in her bouncer playing with a toy but she kept dropping it on the floor. Daniel was playing his keyboard, however, he kept stopping to pick it up for her and then he'd return to what he was doing. It was just so sweet to see! Very different to his usual 'help' where Eliza is playing with a toy so Daniel wants it (of course) and takes it away from her and then gives her a new toy to play with for 5secs until he decides he wants to play with that one.

Here is video of Daniel giving Eliza cuddles and her giggling. I have given up on telling him to be careful or to not go on top of her because she just giggles and he tells me that 'La likes it'. Again, the bond is pretty cute.
