Elijah is such a good big brother. He loved Emme from the first moment he saw her. And even now as much as they fight, he still takes cares of her. If nothing else the two of them bring out a competitiveness in each other that encourages them for the most part to be good even if it is just so they can be "the good one" for the day. :)
Elijah and Gideon have always had a special relationship. Elijah has always felt responsible for Gideon. It has been very sweet to watch Elijah with Gideon since he started having seizures. It is amazing how aware Elijah is of Gideon's mood and behavior. He knows when Gideon is having good days and bad days. Because of Elijah's attentiveness to him, Gideon absolutely adores him. Elijah really is Gideon's favorite person.
Elijah loves to take care of Evelyn. He is always very willing to pick her up "and walk her" when she is fussy. He will lay with her and talk to her so I can do chores. Evelyn smiles at him anytime he interacts with her. Even as a tiny newborn Evelyn would look for Elijah when she heard his voice. Elijah is very comforting and calming for Evelyn. I am excited to watch their relationship as they grow up.

He really is a sweet and loving little boy. Easy to forget sometimes...
Such a sweet boy. I always wanted a big brother to take care of me. Your kids are lucky to have each other.
What a blessing, what joy to know he's aware of others needs.....including mom & dad :)
Elijah is the best big brother ever. He is such a good, sweet kid. Like Emily said, I always wanted a big brother to take care of me too! I guess it is a good thing we both ended up being the best big sisters in the whole world! And it's not like an older brother could keep our moms in line like we do right?
Elijah has just the right temperament to be a big brother. He is so in tune with what other people are thinking and feeling and knows just what to do to make them feel better when that is called for. You are very loved Elijah.
