brotherly love


i'm not sure if you have children, but mine crack me up. the two oldest have been in one each others faces lately. a lot of fighting, hitting, stealing of toys, etc. it seems to be all in good fun (but i would seriously hate it if it were me!). when i took the kids #1 and #3 with me to the doctor today, kid #1 kept talking about kid #2. here are some of things i heard:

- "kid #2 is going on a walk with gracie" (our sitter)
- "kid #2 is crying" (other kids around us down the hall were crying- from shots?)
- "kid #2 is sleepy" (i think that he was getting confused about who kid #3 was at this point- we were at the doctor forever!)
- "kid #2 should sit right here" (apparently, to kid #1, sharing a circular spinning chair would be fun to share. i know better)

needless to say, kid #1 missed kid #2 while we were at the doctor's office. poor buddy. i think that the antagonizing of his brother must be in love?

(sigh)
