Zeke, being the
responsible older brother, is often tasked with looking out for Josie. We don't ask or expect him to supervise her or anything, but sometimes they'll be upstairs playing together in their room and they're perfectly happy and safe, so J and I will leave them alone while we're downstairs cooking dinner or something. We just ask Zeke to call one of us if Josie is getting close to the stairs, because while she is now walking everywhere, she hasn't figured out how to go down the stairs in a way that won't cause her serious injury.
Last night we had a bunch of friends over for a football-watching barbecue and the kids were mostly in the room with us, but at one point Josie climbed up the stairs and Zeke followed her and they were upstairs playing.
J told Zeke, "if Josie gets too close to the stairs, or if you need help with anything, call out for Daddy."
Five minutes later we heard Zeke yelling, "out for Daddy! OUT FOR DADDY!"
Let it not be said that the kid doesn't pay attention.
