Moments of Sweetness

This morning I had taken Kyle and Joanna to their classrooms at daycare, then went over to the school-age room to ask the teacher a question. During that time I remembered that I had forgotten to give Kyle insulin (through his pump) after his breakfast at home. When I walked into his classroom, I saw him by himself and looking very sad. I went over to him and asked why he was so sad. He said, "because I want my brother" in the saddest little voice possible. It was so sweet!

Back in September, not too long after school had started, Charlie started crying on the school bus because Marcie wouldn't sit with him. We could see him through the window and before the bus pulled away, I mouthed "what's wrong" to Charlie. He replied, "Marcie won't sit with me" and buried his face in his hands. It was really pitiful. I told the other parents at the bus stop why Charlie was crying and then Kyle pipped in and said, "I will sit with my brother."

I have heard Charlie talk about, and have seen in action, his love for his family, but I've never really seen or heard it from Kyle. The teachers at daycare have told me how much Marcie admires Charlie and how she looks after him, and I have seen some of that at home. This is really the first time that I've seen the display of Kyle's emotions. It is just too sweet for words!
