… That isn’t just a saying, you know. It is something I face every day. And it is usually Tommy’s life that is in danger!
You see Tommy has 3 big brothers who love him … a bit too much sometimes.
They act all kind and sweet. Rusty reads him stories … and then drops the book on Tommy’s head.
When Tommy cries, Ricky and Billy often fight over who gets to give him his pacifier … sometimes scaring Tommy into a sadder cry. Rusty just likes trying to shove the pacifier into whatever opening he can. Mouth or eye, doesn’t matter. Nor does it matter to him if the pacifier is backwards.
The boys all love to kiss and rub noses with Tommy. So much so that they’ve shared their cold with him this weekend.
Rusty thinks Tommy is unbreakable … and a rather comfy seat.
Just tonight I came into the room to see Billy climbing onto the baby swing … that Tommy was already in!
And let’s not forget the fun of making Tommy giggle by rolling him over and over and over …
I pray nightly that Tommy will survive all the love his brothers have for him.
Cute little Tommy. Sometimes I fear for baby Ray Ray’s life when Cate is around too.
