Brotherly Love

Braden and Conner have reached a milestone recently that makes me a very happy mommy (most of the time anyway). They will now go and play together pretty regularly. Now you may be asking yourself "Didn't they play together before now?" and yes the answer would be certainly. However, they will now play together without my participation. Braden actually enjoys being the big brother and taking Conner into his room to play tools, out on the deck to push cars or downstairs to play basketball or jump in the bouncy house. I have actually been told on a few occasions recently that they would like me to leave so they can play by themselves. This leaves me torn. One the one hand I am so happy to see this independence with them, I love that they enjoy each other's company so much and I love to have a few minutes to clean, cook or just sit on occasion. However, a part of me is sad that my babies are growing up so fast. Braden is such a big boy now and Conner is following close behind and always loves to imitate his big brother. But for now I will enjoy this new development and figure out a way to deal with the increased competition that has arrived with both of them for everything.

That is so cute. Imagine how nice it will be when they are teenagers. Actually never mind - lets not think about them growing up yet! Can't they just stay sweet and little forever?

Maybe you could start facebooking in your free time. (Maybe you are already doing it.) It seems to be taking up quite a bit of my free time. We should try and get the boys together.

Ahhh, sounds like heavenly bliss! Thank goodness my poor only child has his legos to keep him company.
