I know I know another post today but this was so cute I just had to put it up today. This is a look into my little Levi. He is such a caretaker and so protective of all his sisters, but he especially has a special love for Emily. His #1 favorite thing to do is take a shower with Emily on the bathroom floor with him. Every time before he gets in the shower he begs me to bring Emily up with him. She lays on the floor while he's in there. She loves the lights and the noise of the fan so she doesn't mind. The funniest thing though I just discovered tonight...he periodically opens up the door and says "Hi Emily...are you OK, baby" and other such phrases of adoration. She just looks at him and smiles.
The thing about his deep love for her that is so special is that he really wanted her to be a boy. When they came to the hospital a few hours after she was born my Dad asked Levi how he liked Emily. Levi responded "She was supposed to be a Sam"...this is the na
me Levi was insistent would be the baby boy's name. A few days later he asked if I could cut her hair really short and then she would be a boy (we had to remind him about the boy and girl parts that make them different). Within a week though, he turned into "Brother Levi" which we named him as a result of his brotherly love for Emily.

Funny how God knows even what our kids really need when they ask. Seems like a good opportunity to point that out again. Have I mentioned the joys of having so many kids?
