Big Brother & Bodyguard

Nathan keeps a close watch on anyone who comes near Baby Sister. One day we were at the mall playground (again) and these three boys, who were at least three times older than Nathan, ran past Baby Sister's car seat. Nathan stepped in front of her and started yelling at these boys. He is usually pretty timid around older kids, but not if it involves Baby Sister. He was yelling, repeatedly, "NO! Don't touch Baby Sister! Leave her alone!" I swear, we are going to get beat up one of these days. We seriously need to move ASAP.

Then, when we were at the bowling alley, I was getting Nathan some ketchup with Baby Sister hanging from my arm in her car seat. A nice lady offered to hold her for me, so I let her so that I could finish getting the ketchup. I didn't want to put her down on the nasty, wet floor. Nathan immediately rushed up to the counter and politely told the lady, "That's our baby. That's our baby." He just wanted to make sure that she knew that her possession of Baby Sister was only temporary.

I can't believe I was worried about Nathan's reaction to gaining a baby sister. He sure proved me wrong.

Happy 3 Months Baby Sister!
