Our second child is so loving, but in his own way. He offers many, many kisses and is now bear-hugging us all. He comes up behind me and grabs me around the legs, it is absolutely precious. His big brother is not as amused by his bear hug/tackles. This picture is right before one of the major hugs. The photo above that is Eli trying to pacify Knox with an appropriate hug, not one that knocks you down if you are also a toddler. I often feel sorry for Knox because so much of what we do as a family is geared around Eli's interests and abilities. I have started to become more intentional about making sure that Knox is able to participate in anything we are doing. As I have begun to pay more attention I have noticed that Knox rarely is "left behind." He sticks close to his big brother and mimics most everything he does. Knox pitches an absolute fit every Sunday morning at church! He hates nursery and can't bear it at all if my sweet friend Becky leaves the room. Jerrold is always the one to drop them off and bear the agony of leaving a screaming child. Jerrold has started putting Knox in Eli's room and he has been tear-free for two Sundays in a row! This is a big victory for the Simmons clan and the gracious crew at church!
