Hyrum and Ivy have formed such a powerful bond in their short little lives. I feel so fortunate to witness their friendship blossom every day. We are SO LUCKY Hyrum is such a gentle and unselfish big brother. He sets the example and Ivy loves to follow.
The first word out of Ivy's mouth every morning is "HYWUM!" She CONSTANTLY asks where he is when he's at school. Whenever he is upset, (which is several times a day) you can easily see the concern and alarm on Ivy's face. She cries with him even though she has no idea what the drama is.
Hyrum is Ivy's constant protector. He explains to her that she can't run in the road or touch the hot oven in a little sing-song voice. He holds her hand while we're walking so she doesn't trip and fall. He even feeds Ivy breakfast when mom needs a few more minutes sleep. The other day Ivy wouldn't come when it was time to get in the car at the park. Hyrum and I started walking away (hoping Ivy would become frightened and run towards us-- she just kept playing) and Hyrum immediately became frantically upset thinking we were leaving his little sis. "I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE IVY, I NEED HER! (sob, sob, sob)" His absolute terror touched me so deeply, I almost broke down.
I will never be able express my gratitude that my fervent prayers have be answered positively. I can only keep praying this current felicity will continue into their teenage years!

That is so adorable they are such good friends! I can't wait until Jack is able to hold Annie's attention more. He definitely tries, but she's just not all that interested! Hyrum is such a great big brother.
The video didn't work for me...it says it is a private video and I have to accept your friend request???
That is sooo sweet--you have the most beautiful and sweet little kiddos! They are going to be such good buddies!
Yay, you fixed it! What a precious little video, Paul and I absolutely loved it! I loved watching Ivy "back it up" into Hyrum's lap like she knew exactly where she wanted to be. They are such sweet kids and great little friends.
Okay, so you have to know that I absolutely ADORE your children! They are beautiful and hysterical just like their momma. I just read all the things Hyrums says on your side, soooooo funny! I was lughing so hard-he is one funny kid!
He is such a good brother! I'll pray they stay that way too! :)
