I tepple, Mom!

Autumn is becoming more interested in her baby brother and thankfully, less bothered when he cries although she has much empathy for him when he gets his diaper changed or a bath. It doesn't bother him but since she doesn't like those activities, she cries for him. When he's fussy she will go over to him and "shhh" him and say "B'en, it's OK". She tells me "B'en coot" and she loves when he touches her. She puts her hand or arm right up to his so that he's basically touching her and then when he moves his hand she squeals in delight "it tickles". She smiles at him and he smiles at her - it's fun to see the beginnings of their relationship. Today he was lying on the floor and she was hovering over him and I started to tell her to be careful and she looked as me and said "I tepple (aka careful), Mom" - she already knew what I was going to say.
