Isaac met Addy on April 7, 2011 two days after she was born. Not the plan but that is what happened. I will NEVER forget what he said when he saw her or the look he had on his face. You could not wipe the grin off for starters, little did he know we were bringing her home. But he asked so softly and with one little finger, "I touch eyes, I touch nose, I touch mouth, I touch chin, I touch hands." Then when he was done with that he said, " I hang on." as he motioned to pick her up to hold her.
A whole year has passed and he has grown into an amazing BIG brother and LOVES her unconditionally. There have been so many times throughout the year that he has held her and mostly because he has asked and I will admit a couple where he has just grabbed. But I have never been prouder of my little boy! When Addy is sad and crying he runs to get me and tells me,"Addy needs you mommy, she is crying." When we go on outings he always sticks up for her and makes sure other kids play nice around her. OR he demands they give the toy back to his sista, as he says it. And today I had to take Addy back to the ENT. Isaac is aware that Addy's ears hurt and she was screaming at the dr's. Once when she needed to have a test and once when the dr. looked in her ears. Both times Isaac's eyes filled with tears, his lip quivered and he said,"Addy okay? Addy okay?" And in the waiting room when a little boy touched her, he got right off his chair and said, "NO, this is our baby."
Isaac loves his sister to pieces and pieces and more pieces as he says and he has never let go since the first time he asked to hang on! Keep hanging on Isaac, she loves you right back!
