Shared Joys

"Aaaah" then "Haaaa" That aaaah is that squeaky sound when you inhale quickly as if in fear or surprise, the Haaaa the relief riddled exhale afterward.

Imagine if you will two little boys, age 3 and 4 sitting at a computer working to solve a puzzle. They keep taking turns making the scared/relieved noises as they overcome each new obstacle in the game. They are a chorus of little squeakers. I wonder if they might get going too quick with it, hyperventilate and pass out. I should put pillow around the chair they are sharing.

My little boys adore each other so much. They have the amazing ability to share beautifully for hours and then have a full out blow out fight with kicking, screaming and biting for seemingly no cause at all. They finish each others' sentences and hug and apologize without being told to. I love that they need each other so much. They have a lot of years ahead spending a lot of time together.

Here they are :):



And yes, Robert is only wearing underwear. It amazes me how difficult it is to keep clothes on that child. I am grateful he at least thinks underwear is a good idea now.
