I’ve always thought that Henry and Penelope were going to have a strong relationship.  At first I wasn’t sure if it would be a good, close relationship or not!  When I was pregnant, whenever Henry would sit in my lap, Penelope would kick him.  Enough that he noticed.  Penelope never did that to Piper or Rosemary – just Henry.

After she got here it took Henry a little while to adapt, but now he is Penelope’s protector.  If Piper or Rosemary takes away anything she was playing with, Henry quickly takes it back and says, “Baby was playin’ wit it!”  Then Henry will go over to Penelope, put his hand on her shoulder, return the toy, and squat down and say, “Here you go, neh-oh-pee.”  

Now Piper and Rosemary take care of Penelope, too, but not quite to the same extent as Henry.  Henry always makes sure that Penelope is okay if she falls down, and if she is unhappy Henry will sit down and happily play with her.   If she wants, sometimes he even holds her hand and they walk around a bit. 

Henry is just the best big brother!
