Sweet Peas


Purpose of this post: to remind myself that there is a silver lining to the hard times we've been having with our angry kiddo.

In the way that life with children constantly cycles between order and chaos, we seem to have passed a peak of baby brother violence (your insides would hurt if you saw the scratches, kicks, punches and head butts Ethan has issued to this little guy).  In between the assaults, we are seeing some bona fide sweetness.

For example, every morning when he wakes up Ethan checks to see if Sam and I are awake.  If not, he quietly shuts the door and entertains himself with legos until we wake up.  This morning Sam was sleeping but I was up (oh cruel world!), so Ethan quietly snuck up on the bed, kissed me and then kissed sleeping Sam and whispered "I love you". 

Melt My Heart.


Ethan is not pictured here because he is waiting patiently 
in the car for the rest of us to get ready.   
Maybe the Angry Birds is keeping him occupied?


Ethan thought Sam could use some toys while he waited for his meal.
