Rex Daniel Nelson...my favorite little brother.

I love my little brother so much. He is definitely crazy and sometimes annoying but he is the sweetest little boy you'll ever meet...I promise. He is so protective of his sisters and always wants big hugs from us. A few weeks ago we were sitting in church and I was freezing cold. I didn't have my dad there to keep me warm so I just started rubbing my arms and I leaned over to Rex and said "Gosh it's so cold in here." Right then Rex said "Oh here Paigiee take my jacket." I told him it was okay but he insisted and I ended up wearing my little brother's jacket for all of sacrament meeting. (He offered to let me take it for the rest of church but I wouldn't take it) Isn't that the sweetest thing ever?? Seriously, what little 11 year old boy cares more about his sister than himself that he gives her his jacket in an ice cold church? Rex does. That's just one of the many stories of him being a gentleman. Well I decided to devote a whole post to him because he just became M.J. Christensen student body president and we're so excited for him!! I can't believe how big he is now..thinking about it just kills me. After the first day of school this year he came home and told me and my mom that the best thing about 5th grade is that there are actually "hot girls" in his class and no one is immature about cooties and stuff. I about died when he said this because I have NEVER heard him talk about girls before. I said "Rex I hope you don't think that you can start liking girls now. Don't even think about kissing a girl or getting a girlfriend until you're home from your mission. Actually no...I probably won't even be okay it then. If you bring a girl over I'm going to be mean to her." (Yeah I know...I can be a brat sometimes). Rex just said "Paaaige I'm not ever going to kiss a girl...come on." and my mom just laughed and said "He's growing up Paige. Next year he'll be 12 and passing the sacrament and in junior high and whether you like it or not he'll be liking girls." When my mom said this I just looked at Rex and started crying. Yes I cried like a little baby while saying "I don't want him to grow up. He's just going to be my little sweet brother forever." Of course Rex just came and comforted me with a huge hug and said "It's okay Paigiee...I'll still be your little brother even when I'm married." It made me cry even harder. I know, I know this sounds like a movie or something but he really is just that sweet. My mom was totally inspired when she decided to name him after my amazing Grandpa. I'm so grateful that I have this angel as my little brother...I don't know what I would do with out him.

I love you Rexy Boy.
