We were pleasantly surprised how interested Micah was in Judah after he was born. He was quite smitten with his brother and took on the big brother role with seriousness.
He suddenly became his brother’s body guard. Any time any child came close to him, he would quickly tell them that it was HIS baby brother.
Calvin’s so sweet to him and sings him all sorts of songs he makes up. He’s pretty proud of him.
One unexpected things were the comments Calvin made after we brought him home. One of the first things he said was, “I can’t believe it! God let us keep him, that he didn’t make him die.” Or while praying, “Thank you God for not letting this baby die.” He was trying to make since of why Judah lived and Seth did not. One day we said, “Oh Mom now I understand why Judah didn’t die, it’s because he didn’t have any of those things (pointed at the tubes in Seth’s picture) in him.”
Sometimes I hate that happy moments like a birth of a new baby, seem to get overshadowed with heavy topics, but I’m thankful that Calvin’s open and willing to talk about them freely.
