Since Max has his new camera, he occasionally captures things that Krista and I miss. Take the two pics below as examples…
Clearly, there’s a bit of conflict in these two pics. Usually Max turns into a tattletale and we then can scold the appropriate child. I find it amusing he chose to watch and take pictures.
Okay, on to the issue.
Sam (3) and Tyler (2) are battling constantly. Problem is that Tyler, while a bit shorter, actually weighs about the same and therefore can do real damage to Sam. We used to think it was cute when Tyler would tackle Sam or Max but it has escalated to tackle, hit, throw toys at, head-butt, kick and a couple of times the dreaded bite!
Knowing a few other families with multiple boys. I have heard stories from both sides…”Oh they’ll be best friends eventually!” or “Yeah, they’ll fight like that forever!”
It all makes me wonder what our lives will be like when they are all in high school together! AND what will the dynamic be like after September, when a girl gets added to the mix. Will Tyler turn his attention to her, or will he continue trying to de-throne Sam from his “older brother” status?
If we could add Tyler to this pic, here’s what we’re dreaming of…
As the mother of two grown sons, I know that “they’ll be best friends eventually.” Love the photos!
