Big Brother Beaner

For whatever reason we call Ian, Beaner. His name just sort of evolved into Beaner and now we call him by that name more than we call him Ian. He answers to it and occasionally will call himself Beaner when looking in the mirror or seeing his reflection in something.

Yesterday I was nursing Kyle and Ian came up and tried to take Kyle from my arms. I asked him if he wanted to hold Kyle when I was done and he replied with a very enthusiastic, "hold him". Once Kyle was in Beaner's lap he looked at me and said, "Beaner, brother."

As difficult as it has been having these two boys so close in age and the crazy nursing schedule a newborn demands, I have a feeling all my boys are going to grow up pretty close as brothers. Their bond is only beginning and it already makes me cry.
