Brother and sister

He was so excited to see his sister pick him up after school. Forget about running to me, he ran to his sister and hugged her and held her hand. He told her about his day and Aleena was gushing like a proud big sister. This is the second time this month she went to pick him up. He said he gets 'ecited' when he sees his appi. I just loved the way he put her hand in his and guided her. May Allah swt always keep them united like this.
I had a few name options for him before he was born. However when he was born, I leaned towards the name Isam more which has the perfect meaning- 'protection, security'. It totally fits in with his younger brother role but in many ways, I hope he will be his appi's security and protection inshallah.

As he is getting older, he is understanding about his sister's needs. When she has a tantrum (he has them too), he will offer her comfort like her towel and dummy.
He's so concerned about her feet and keeps asking if she will be able to put them flat like him after her surgery. He showed me yesterday that his appi will run upstairs like him too. Such heart melting moments in my life I get to see.
The other day he was asked what he will be buying his appi for her birthday and he said 'a Queen'. He just knows how to impress people with his talk.

Sometimes he gets very frustrated when she can't take part in everything or cannot do all the physical things he can but he loves her so much. They equally share such an amazing bond alhumdulillah BUT also has his moments. He truly can be the perfect Isam for Aleena.
