Brotherly-Sisterly Love

...or so I thought.

Tonight we had a little bit of applesauce delight to follow our meal. Abigail quickly downed hers without delay. Nathan is a little slower on the other hand. It was okay though because Abigail immediately offered to help the little man with his spoon feeding. Nathan has been using a spoon for about a month and is getting actually very good at it but I thought how nice it was for her to want to do this act of service for her brother. She has been practicing lots of "motherly" things lately in preparation for our new one to come in May (even wanting to help with Nathan's diaper changes). As I went to grab the camera for this precious little moment I came back to find this...
Her little act of kindness had an alterior motive...a bite of her own. I guess I should have seen this coming when about 30 minutes earlier she so kindly offered to put the grated cheese back in the frig for me only to take a couple of spoonfuls before its return. Gotta love these teaching moments.
