Since Abby couldn't take everything she owns with her to college, she entrusted the care of a few of her stuffed animals, Blob and Maize, to Brady. And thus far, littlest brother is doing an admirable job with his assignment.

Whenever he brings BearBear and Chub (which, because I'm sure you've been saying it wrong all this time, is pronounced "Choob") downstairs, Maize and Blob come along for the ride. The happy quartet watches him play video games daily, and today while the boys were off at school, they sat together in one of our family room chairs.

I so love that Brady was willing to step in for his sister like this. That sweetness is such a blessing.
