The brother and the boyfriend.
Heath is his name.
He is eternally sweet, for a four year old boy and danced with Ivy, in the kindy mosh pit.
When she refused him a fourth time because her father was buying her an ice block
he took it in his stride and moments later returned to her side
with his own water ice,
same colour
and flavour.
We chuckled.
When you order up the same iceblock, in a four year old world,
it must be love.
Noah had been watching these interactions
and we his
with an amusement and sweetness reserved for parents of sisters with brothers
or in our case
sisters with a twin brother.
Heath and Ivy were sitting
enjoying each other’s company
when the brother sidled up to his father;
“I don’t like that boy sitting so close to my sister“, he hissed in protest to the scene.
“Does Ivy have a boyfriend?” Dave asked, leaning in close to his son, merriment dancing in his eyes.
“Yes” scowled the boy.
“What’s his name?” his father asked.
“It’s Noah” he replied, arms crossed, a deep furrow on his brow
and with that he went and sat with Ivy, almost on top of her suitor.
Boyfriends beware.
When there is a brother on the lookout, you barely stand a chance!
LOL! Aww bless his lil heart!
Hee hee, at least you won’t have to do the worrying! Very sweet.
that is just gorgeous! Ivy will always be well taken care of when out of your sight- but gee, I think he’s gonna be busy!
I hope he grows up strong and able – he’s going to need to be.
oh my…..how sweet…..I had a big brother who looked after me…………sigh….
gorgeous pic!!!!
Tehehe…
Boyfriends beware indeed.
Oh how cute!!!
Boy with a shotgun…
Awh! How sweet. Ivy’s protector. Boyfriends beware indeed!
How adorable? If ever Noah was giving that Heath the evil eye — that was it!
LOL How very cute!
Yep – went through it with my twin brother. Tell ‘em nothing, Ivygirl! Keep them guessing!!
Oh that is SO sweet! And comforting for you to know he’ll be looking out for her – imagine the teenage years!
My neice and nephew are twins and there’s a very similar dynamic happening there.
That is the sweetest picture!
Its amazing to see the connection that your twins have, such a special relationship. Any boys are going to have to be something awesome to get past her gatekeeper! Gorgeous pic!
That has to be one of the most beautiful tales of young brotherly love I have ever read!!!
He is a gem, that boy. But you already knew that.
As for the photo – after reading your words it absolutely took my breath away. How perfect!!!
Axx
PS.. Hope the birthday preparations are going well.
That is TOO precious.
That is just too sweet. I wonder if Ivy will be the same when Noah has a girlfriend?
oh so young , so so sweet.
I only have to worry about them fighting over the same girl.
Oh my… that is just the most beautiful thing ever!
That is so very, very sweet!!
If you could die from the cute factor I would! Although with Noah being so protective it certainly takes the pressure of your husband ;o)
That is the single most adorable thing I have ever seen!!
Oh man, that is so cute! Imagine the problems when they get older
That is just about the sweetest post I have ever read. I love that boy.
Awwwwww, that is so adorable. I could just eat him up.
*snort*
Crikey, brothers start early lol.
Gorgeous, Tiff! That’s such a lovely story… and I love the photo.
xoxoxo
Looks like Ivy already has two guardian angels with both of her brothers watching over her. As well as the protective side, could Noah be a little bit jealous, perhaps? Hhmmmm? xoxo
Too gorgeous. The photo captures it beautifully too – that’s a 1000-words picture.
Awww just beautiful, love the photo, it speaks volumes
Awwww
THAT is precious. You catch the best moments, Tiff!
