Last night the kids and I were sitting on the couch just relaxing. Hunter and Ella were snuggled up together under Ella's pink Dora blanket (shh don't tell Hunter I told you that) and Hunter says to me....
"I just love having a 3 1/2 year old with Down syndrome. I love hugging and kissing her it just makes me feel like.......like I love her, cause I really do."
Seriously. Melt. My. Heart.
Then he starts asking me "so when I'm 20 she will be 18?" "When I'm 30 she will be 28?" I wonder what he is thinking about?
All I know is Hunter is an amazing boy. He is such a sweet big brother to Ella, she is SO lucky to have him. Hunter often brings tears to my eyes, like when he is changing innings during a baseball game and runs to the sidelines to give Ella a high five and a big hug, when he gets off the school bus and runs to his sister and hugs her, lifting her off the ground and then instructs his friends to give her a hug too, the way he pushes me out of the way so he can catch his sister coming down the slide at the water park.
These pictures aren't the best I've ever taken, but these are ones that I will cherish forever, a moment of pure sibling love!!!
Okay, that's enough being sweet!!
