Mutual Admiration Society

People ask me all the time how Dexter is acclimating to being a big brother.  Truly, he's been really great since day one.  In the beginning, he was always giving Desmond his pacifier (whether he wanted it or not), sharing toys, being gentle, all of that good stuff.

Now that Desmond is older, Dexter is still a great big brother, and Desmond is appreciating it a lot.  As often as not, I'll look over to see Dexter giving Desmond a big hug for no reason.  And, since they face each other in the car, they are often making goofy grins at one another and giggling back there.  All Dexter has to do is smile or laugh at Desmond, and he'll smile or laugh right back. (And the reverse is usually true, too.)

I resolve to remember these times vividly and am glad to have these videos to refer to, because I know later I'll be doubting it ever happened.
