My boy

Dave is such a feisty little man (favorite new word:  "NO!") that it's sometimes hard to remember that he's tenderhearted as well.  When any of his sisters cry (except if they cry because of his actions), he's there, patting them on the back and giving them Dave hugs.  He loves babies and even baby dolls.  He will peer into strollers and infant carriers to see who is inside them.  Yesterday he was in transports because our neighbor needed to leave her 3-month old son with us for half an hour while she took Older Son to school.

David bolted down his food (no surprise there) and was down on the floor, stroking Evan's cheek and head, patting his belly, and generally making Evan laugh uproariously.  He wanted to hold Evan and "rock him, Mama" when Evan was tired of being held by toddler arms.  It was so special.  It's nice to see tenderness in my little man, when mostly what I see is just plain oneriness.
