"don't hurt her Birrrrd!"
"be gentle Tristen!"
"Bird. Put.Her.DOWN."
Bird loves his Auntie Karley. Like a sister, really. Karley, my youngest sister, and Tristen are just 8 years apart; closer in age than Karley and I by 6 years. And my lord, he loves her. But his boyish love for his Auntie and the strapping tall, strong man-body that has recently engulfed his being has Auntie Karley's petite little frame in peril of being crushed when his little boy heart explodes with love and a big giant crushing hug follows. I'm constantly watching - like how a toddler must be watched over their new baby sibling - making sure his love doesn't leave bruises. And then I got a text from Karley last night .. "I just can't believe how big Bird is. I love how he hugs me so hard every time I see him - even if it hurts!" Made me realize that those hugs are sooo precious, and as long as he doesn't topple her to the ground, it's all good. :)
