Dear Hooper & Van,
We’ve been working on sharing and this last week I think you’ve finally grasped the concept. You started by sharing germs and both battled a husky cough, fever, and a runny nose that reassembled a leaking faucet. It landed you both in the doctor’s office: Hooper first and Van two days later.
It started with germs, but the sharing has reached the voluntary realm as well. Yesterday, I sat you down, Van, on the floor next to me. I put a modest pile of toys in front of you and got up to use the bathroom. When I came back, Hooper had nearly buried you in puzzles and coloring books and cars. Hooper, you proudly replied, “sharing”, and proceeded to gently rub your brother’s fuzzy head. That’s your new thing, by the way: Rubbing Van’s fuzz head.
So it’s not all ominous. Your budding relationship is looking upward. My black and white vertically striped top and whistle hangs neatly in the closet. Lets leave it there for a bit.
Love,
Mama
Aww, so sweet! Hooper has such an nice disposition…most of the time 😉
That second picture kills me – Van makes a perfect little bro bro.
great pictures xxx
Sharing is caring, after all, Mom!! hehe.
As they get older, I promise you they’ll share SO MUCH more easily!!! It’s those early stages that are the most difficult. The whole, “He’s a baby, he doesn’t understand.” and “Don’t take that from your brother, he gets upset.” and “That is not yours! You ask first and wait for them to give it to you”. . oh the list goes on!! Little boys. . I know I know. I have two as well. 😉
Coughs and colds are the worst coz everyone in the house catches it in the end. Just hate it thinking about the fever itself. But the best thing during this time is that my daughter wipes my sons nose when his nose is flemmy and my son does the same to my daughter when her nose gets flemmy. It just brings tears to my eyes……
