Quite a big brother....

Ethan has become quite a protective big brother. He always makes sure that "ia" (his pet name for his sister) is okay and that nobody can hurt her. If she gets into trouble, Ethan will tend to ask why and potentially give US trouble for giving her a spanking or yelling at her. If any other kids come near, he is always close by and on certain occasions he will actually block them from touching her. We are not sure if he thinks she is in danger or what, but it has happened more than once.

I am sure she will tire of it as she gets older and they start to fight more. Then she will go back to loving having her "big brother" protect her. I guess time will tell.
