Alpha Cub is a good friend!

Today I woke up and saw my son do something in a new light today, something he has done countless times before but I never really saw how special it was.

Let me backstory a little. On Mondays and Tuesdays the Missus works as a nanny for my Aunt’s children and watches AC while she works. AC sticks around two of the children pretty much the whole day. The first one is Em, a girl who is a month older than AC, and Nick who is about 6 months older.

They constantly play together, or fight together at some times. Pretty much like brothers and sister.

Today I was saying goodbye to go to work. I reached Nick first and said goodbye and hugged him. Then I hugged and said goodbye to AC. Em was a ways away and didn’t want to come to me so I just waved goodbye. AC then said ‘Em’s turn!’ He was telling me that Em should get a hug as well.

I didn’t think of it as particularly special cause I heard him doing that alot. It only occured to me today that Em and Nick do not stand up for anyone except themselves! Out of all three children he is the only one who is consistently exhibits considerate behavior! I wasn’t even sure, because I only see all three together for an hour per day for two days in the week, so I asked the missus. She confirmed that the other two children are rather inconsiderate overall.

I was doubly proud of AC today! He so rocks!
