Big Brother Buzz

What's the Buzz all about?

Why is this any different than countless other happy big sibling new baby pictures?

Buzz hasn't wanted to hold Seven. He hasn't been acting jealous or angry or anything but pleased with her, he obviously enjoys her, but he hasn't wanted to hold her. Sometimes he's just been busy and indifferent, other times he's claimed he's too small, or she's too small. Once or twice when he's been curled up next to me I've moved her over so we've held her together, and he's been happy with that. But he's never asked, volunteered, or said yes when someone has asked him.

So this morning just the little boys were up and I needed someone to hold her just for a moment, while I grabbed something for them. Sputnik was busy and couldn't be bothered. I asked Buzz to sit in the corner of the Big Recliner, and tucked Seven into his lap. And the look of pride that lit up his face was delightful. He might not ask, and might not volunteer, but he was very very pleased to help out this morning.

It made my day.
