Brotherly advice

As I mentioned before, both Charlie and Zach have been receiving all sorts of gifts from our generous friends and family. We have appreciated all of them, but I have to highlight one in particular. Zach got a card from our friend Aiden (who will be 8 in August), and it's clear that Aiden put a great deal of thought, time, and effort into the gift. In case you can't see it in the picture, the card reads "Ways to Take Care of Your New Baby" - and it's full of great brotherly advice for Zach:

1. Give him hugs

2. Give him kisses

3. Play with him nicely

4. Keep him entertained

5. Sing to him

6. Love him

7. Feed him

8. Give him drinks

9. Make him laugh

10. Give him naps

11. Let him tackle you

12. Give him piggy back rides

13. Teach them how to run and walk

14. Teach them how to jump

15. Let them chase you

16. Teach him how to roll and crall

17. Give him toys

Zach already does great with numbers 1, 2, 5 and 6. And he's working hard on #9! We are so looking forward to when both boys are ready to tackle the rest of the list. :)

We'll be hanging on to this card for a long long time!
