"Brudders"

Jayden and Benjamin are the best of buds. In this picture, Benji decided that since Jay was driving, he needed some added protection... :) The other day, Lecia was having a Young Women's presidency meeting at her house. One of her counselors brought her little boy with her. This little boy was not exactly nice to Jayden. Anything Jay did, it was bad, and Jayden wasn't allowed to play with anything, even his own toys. So, after a few minutes of this, Benji stepped between this little boy and Jayden, with his hands on his hips and a very stern look on his face, and said: "You be nice to Jayden!! He's my brudder!!!" It took everything to not cry at that! After that, Benji was Jayden's protector from this little boy. Jayden is such a sweet little boy, and it was breaking my heart to see this little boy be mean to him. Benjamin stepping in like that to make sure that my little baby was treated with the sweetness and love that he deserves overwhelmed me with gratitude and love towards the friendship that they have. He may drive me nuts at some times, but it was so awesome to see him claim Jayden as his "brudder", not nephew.
