Sometimes I say to one of my older children, "Will you please hold Benjamin while I...put some wood in the stove/switch the laundry/take this casserole out of the oven/answer the phone/give this food to the puppies/something similar?" And they very willingly hold out their arms for their littlest brother. But many times, it goes the other way: they ask me if they can hold him--or as is happening more often these days, they just hold him! I put him down in the bouncy seat and find him in David's arms. I set him in the swing and turn around to discover that Tobin's got him. I place him on the couch and put pillows around him to keep him safe, and then Josiah picks him up and holds him. It's a delightful situation to be in. :)
I will never grow tired of seeing my children lavish love upon each other.

It is great to see the boys taking some of the cuddle responsibility for Benjamin. It is nice to see siblings get along.
