Big Guy, Little Guy


So there were Simone and several of the kids at a French talent show. The 10 year old was performing: C'est zéro. She did an awesome job but Baby B ran out of patience two acts after his sister sang. Since the 10 year old performed third and there were nearly 20 other acts to follow prior to the finale, there didn't seem to be many options.
Simone finally snuck out with Baby B and hung out in the hallway for the remainder of the show. The 19 year old and his girlfriend joined them during intermission and stayed to play with the little guy. Baby started by stripping off his shirt; Simone convinced him that he HAD to keep his pants on... Then he got real interested by a four year old girl who came out of the hall, puking in a white bowl. Simone did her best to keep him close.
Finally, for over an hour, Baby B started at one end of the hall while his big brother waited at the other end. He then raced toward the big guy. The big guy caught the little guy, tossed him in the air, caught him (thank heavens!) and put him down after a spin or two. Baby B loved this so much that he kept at it, well beyond the time that would normally have had him snuggle up to his favourite toys in bed.
Gotta love them older brothers ;-)
