This recent news story about a toddler boy who helped his mom deliver his baby brother completely blows my mind.
I can't even get my 3-year old to sit up to the table for dinner, let alone assist in childbirth!
In summary, Babbye Favazza of Tennessee was scheduled for an early December C-section but went into labor at home early. With emergency services on the way, Favazza's water broke and the baby boy began to make his arrival.
Big brother Jeremiha, age 2, got his mom a towel without being asked and, when his baby brother Kamron made his quick 2-3 minute arrival into the world, Jeremiha actually caught him.
Both mother and baby Kamron are doing fine.
Way to go, little Jeremiha! You're a total super star!

Wow...I can hardly get my five year old to answer me when i call her, let alone spontaneously get me a towel. She does do well under a little bit of pressure, which always surprises and delights me. I have friends who set the bar pretty high for their kids and most of the children manage to keep up. Maybe i should do the same.....
Mommy was hurt and someone needed to help. It is amazing how these little ones just "know" what to do. As they grow our society trains them to ignore those instincts and eventually most stopo having the instinctual feelings all together. Glad to hear mom and family are okay and WTG big brother!!!!
How awesome! I think my two and a half year old might be way more help then his dad (lol). When I have been vomiting due to morning sickness DS will come in and rub my back with out my asking, give me little kisses, and ask me if I want to be held!
I am so happy to hear that even though she was schedualed for a C-section, her unplanned birth turned out with everyone safe and sound! And what a memory for big brother! Guess he knows where babies come from for sure then.
This doesn't even compare, but my three year old brought me her blanky and read me stories when I was down with a migraine and dad was deployed. She tries to help. = )
That is amazing!! My son is really advanced for his age so he probably could handle tough issues.
wow that is incredible! great job little boy...
wow that is incredible! great job little boy...
he was a smart little boy to be 2 n help his mom haveing his brother
That is so Awesome! My 3 year old was telling me I was doing a good job when the contractions were bad on the way to the hospital, and when I had morning sickness she would bring me water. It's amazing how they just know! Catching the baby now that is just amazing!
